to do list for the DmInfoBreath project

Todo (laundry list)

• use the plant's leaf potentials to trigger the flurries rather than a breath sensor
• integrate hidden sounds of plants
• figure out how to project onto smoke
• perhaps intergrate a pinwheel or bubble-blowing thing so there is a blowing affordance (people know to blow)

Lessons learned from Open Studio (next Up)

• remove ichats from list after they are shown so that they don't repeat
• send words one at a time so that all the particles make up a packet
• more sensitive/ stiffer sensor (maybe use a fake sensor as stamen and a real sensor attached where it works better)
• sound
• mark nystrom graphic design
• work on the code because it chokes after a while, and is really inelegant
• maybe the immediate "battle" effect will be more interesting

Done

Programming

Build computer-based prototype:

• strength of breath = speed of text motion
• Carnivore provides data
• program text movement
  • Processing

Construction

• Get a plant
• Build the table (frosted glass?)
  • plant sunken into table. Perhaps table is covered in dirt or water.
• figure out projection aspects
• wire plant

Physical computing aspects

• Analog switch that records strength of blowing (piezo?)
