Module 2

This project contains the process of our final project, we have explored the stability between sensor and arduino, diffrent objects's influences, and adding more led lights on arduino,and the prototype.

Workshop 1 Geurilla Prototyping I

I created a basic cardboard stand to test the stability of the phone at a shallow angle. I refined the angle to improve viewing comfort and structural support. I tested the stand’s balance using a more inclined position to observe usability differences. I designed my own vertical stand concept to explore a more compact, upright structure. I reinforced the vertical form and evaluated how well the cardboard could support weight in a slim profile.

Workshop 2 Geurilla Prototyping II

We built a rotating paper-sphere form using servo motion to explore dynamic, expressive movement in physical prototyping. Testing wiring and signal response, we verified how the light and servo interacted through Arduino inputs. A small cardboard tunnel was created to diffuse the LED and observe light behaviour under different enclosures. We connected the Arduino system and refined component placement to ensure clean wiring and stable functionality. The final prototype combined motion and light, using a paper-strip structure to create a kinetic emotional expression.

Project 2


Project 2 Prototype

HeartLight is an interactive prototype that transforms real-time biometric data—specifically heart rate—into a visual and emotional experience. By combining a pulse sensor and an RGB LED, the project explores how physical signals from the body can be made visible and relatable through color, rhythm, and light. The design aims to create a calm, reflective interaction that encourages users to become more aware of their own physiological state.
