Weekly Report

1st Week Report

After the whole week of meetings, Benedita divided us into groups. Our group: Maria, Toma, Iza and Aare. Our team choose the project. We know what we are going to do, it will be an interactive's wall project or something like that. We decided to do interactive ground. We want to offer this project for children in kindergardens, something like a toy. Children can put a feet and feel sound and see different lights.

2nd Week Report

We changed our idea. Right now we would like to do an interactive sound table, it is targeted at young adults. It will be nice furniture! After the whole week of reflection we put a lot of things which we have to choose ( they are in the table).

3rd Week Report

We made a list of some materials previous week, right now we are going to chose some of them, which one will be better for our product.

We decided to use:

LEDs- only one colour (white) we, are not going to match colour with music

batteries- we decided to use power connection

plexiglass- it will be cover for our table

9 sensors

musical instrument shield

We decided to break our table into nine sections. That's why we need 36 LED, 4 LED into one section.

Then we were discussing about all those things, changing it, talking to teachers and then we've got it!

We did schematic and put in on dropbox.

We are going to start presentation.

7th Week Report

In this week we were working on our interim report presentation. We were preparing ourselves to it.

Then on Thursday we presented our work on week meeting. We think that it was quite good, but we have to improve some details. Supervisors gave us such tips, for example we have to rewrite our Marketing Plan, think if we can sell our product like a service, a system..

8th Week Report

Toma did a scheme of our product, she was talking to Benedita about it. We have to improve it.

9th Week Report

Minute:

At the meeting Benedita presented supervisors and the list of projects, which we are going to do. Each of group had to think about theirs projects, because we were divided into groups. Our group choose to do an interactive's wall project. But we put the idea, then we decided to do interactive ground. We want to offer this project for children in kindergardens, something like a game. Children can put a feet and feel sound and see different lights.

2nd Meeting (2011-03-08)

Agenda:

Materials for ineractive ground. Plastic is the best choice? Which we have to choose?

Minute:

At the meeting we talked about our project. We decided to call it „ An interactive musical toy for children”. We talked about :

batteries- what we need? Temporary supply with accumulators or constant supply of electricity? We decided to choose a temporary supply with accumulators because of children, it will be more safe.

sensors- what kind of sensors we should use, we have to think about it and choose the best ones for us. We have to do the table with all of examples (name, price, etc..) and write which material will be the best for each sensor

microphone- we can use it in every space, it will be very cheap, it will be musical advantage

materials-we talked only this that we will choose it, when we choose the sensors, so we have to wait with it, but it could be a lot of ideas ( pillows, electricity blanket, etc..)

music- monophonic/ polyphonic?

light- led light gives different colours

3rd Meeting (2011-03-15)

Agenda:

Light and music work with the same sensor? Or with differents?

Minute:

We talked about our project. We decided to do a table. We talked about:

sensors- which we should use for the light an for the music

LEDs- that we need only one colour, or maybe two colour (white, blue) or we can match colour to music

batteries- we need batteries and permanent power connection

plexiglass- we need it to cover our table

we did a list of products, which we have to buy ( batteries, speakers, IR Emitters, IR Detectors-sensors, Midi shield, LEDs, connection to main power)

we have to check which of those things are analog, and which are digital
