Fawn's Blog – Page 2 – The making of digital and physical things

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/page/2

The making of digital and physical things. Voronoi Fan – An Exploration of Computational Design. For one of my classes this week, we are learning about computational design. I was pleasantly surprised to learn all the beautiful patterns that can be generated from programming and math equations. I modified a Voronoi design code in Processing. You can download the code here: Voronoi code. It’s quite fun to just experiment with how changing parts of the equation can change the pattern of the design. Course,...

Dino-light – Fawn's Blog

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/dyno-bot

The making of digital and physical things. Watch Dino in action. 1 Here is the original sketch. 2 I first laser-cut 6 pieces of wood to make Dino’s body. I posted a revised template here. 3 Then I glued all the parts together, though press-fitting would’ve been much better. 4 Then I made the “skin” of Dino out of felt. 6 “Look at my beautiful skin” – Dino. 7 Then I made the arm using tape, velostat, and conductive thread and covered the arm with felt. 9 The finished Dino. March 16, 2012. 🙂😛 I like it!

Furry Elephant – Fawn's Blog

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/furry-elephant

The making of digital and physical things. Furry Elephant is an introductory-level robot project that aims to introduce robotics to people in a more familiar and appealing way. The robot interacts with various objects and people to reflect its characteristics and personalities. I designed the project with the below considerations in mind:. Affordability – Made from everyday materials. Interactivity – Interact with people and other objects. Attractive – Cute and furry design. June 4, 2012.

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/koi-nobori

The making of digital and physical things. Koinobori means “koi rising” in Japanese. Koinobori is a koi-shaped wind socks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no Sekku. From April to early May, many landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori. I wanted to recreate this traditional craft with a new computational twist. I created a koi design using a Voronoi diagram in Processing and Adobe Illustrator:. Here’s the embroidery machine creating the stitches and the finished product:. Notif...

Leaves of Brass – Fawn's Blog

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/leaves-of-brass

The making of digital and physical things. I wanted to experiment with a natural material that can be found everywhere. I decided to use a leaf because it had a beautiful surface with vines that resembled electrical circuits. I experimented with how various conductive materials behaved on a leaf and finally formed an electric circuit on the surface of the leaf. This could be used in an interactive installation where synthetic fabric leaves are attached to a real tree and people can touch individual leave...

Electronic Clay Jewelry Kit – Fawn's Blog

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/clay-craft-kit-2

The making of digital and physical things. Electronic Clay Jewelry Kit. I first researched on current kits on the market. There is a clear gap in technology-based craft kits for young women. Since clay is easily manipulated and familiar to the target audience. Clay would be a great material for a craft kit. I designed four mini projects for this kit:. I have documented the steps in how to make three projects. I envision this would be the way the instructions will look in a real craft kit. March 16, 2012.

Wiggling Bunny – Fawn's Blog

https://qiulab.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/bunny-ears

The making of digital and physical things. Easter is right around the corner! Wiggling Bunny is project that will bring a paper bunny to life as it wiggles and moves its ears. I originally got the idea when I was om nom nom on some mochi at Minamoto Kitchoan in SF. I saw this really cute rabbit paper box, but it costed $6! I say “Nay”. Steps to create this project:. 1 Cut out the bunny shaped template pictured below. You can download the pattern here. This is how the front of the bunny looks. make su...
