ubiquitous technology
Technology moves more into the everyday. How does it behave?
In the workshop `"`ubiquitous technology,`"` students learn the fundamentals of working with microcontrollers, sensors, and motors. The students are tasked with translating non-technical behavior – for example, human gestures while speaking, a dog`'`s behavior when it`'`s happy, or the slow blooming of a flower – into an anonymous shipping box.
Creative Constraints
For this, they only have a limited selection of motors and sensors available and must therefore become creative with both mechanics and programming.
Results
The results are exciting year after year: from delicate and very sensitive wire constructions to martially stomping boxes, the students always develop new approaches to embodying behavior in technology.
