Physical Computing Project 3
Collaborated with Wasif Hyder
Initial Idea
Creating a lifestyle art piece that is both artful and informative in relaying heartbeat and other data.
Using an Apple Watch to seamlessly send data to product.
The amount of inflation in a balloon is a display of the user’s wellness
Uses and Meaning: This artwork lives the way you do, take care of it as if it were your body because it can pop.
Sketch
Materials
Balloons - Regular Balloons and Water Balloons
Motor - DC water pump, DC Air Pump
H-Bridge - HW-095
Relay - HW-280
Will try relays and a DC Air Pump (in transit)
Testing Results
Water pump with no water and regular balloon - does not work
Water pump with no water and water balloon - works
Water pump with water and water balloon - works
Air pump with regular balloon - works
Progress
Cannot receive health data unless a team or organization requests it. Will ask NYU for an account for further implementation
