ITP - Process Journal

This blog documents the projects, experiments, and creative process developed during my studies in the Interactive Telecommunication Master’s program (ITP) at New York University (2017–2019). Organized by coursework, it traces the evolution of ideas through experimentation, iterative design, and hands-on exploration across interactive media, physical computing, fabrication, and storytelling, revealing the foundation of my interdisciplinary practice.

SOFT SENSING

Motor Arrays

Group: Anita Mbabazi, Dan Owen, Alexandra Lopez Assignment: In this experiment, we branch out into using multiple vibration motors. The purpose of this is to generate sensations that travel across the area of the body or simultaneously stimulate multiple locations on the skin. To connect and control multiple motors you use (3) digital or analog output pins on the Arduino.

HAPTICS

Haptic Motor Driver

Group: Anita Mbabazi, Dan Owen, Alexandra Lopez Assignment: This experiment introduces a new part – the haptic motor driver. This board and the associated library provide over 100 effects for the vibrating motor allowing for more sophisticated behavior with less programming. Download the Arduino library and try the “Basic” example. 1- Open the Serial Monitor so that you can read the numbers of the effects as you feel them. Write down the numbers of the ones that interest y
