Your pulse as an input
Ellen
Maria Paz is exploring the field of mood inputs by using your pulse as an input to control your environment. The sensor is sending out light that is reflected in the finger and back to the light sensitive sensor. As blood is pumping and flowing in the finger the amount of light received back alters. The output gives you the pulse of your body. Follow her progress in working on her final project Mood Tunnel on http://themoodtunnel.posterous.com/
Nintendo Wii introduced the Vitality sensor a few months ago, working as an input to measure your health and can be used in games.

Hyper Island - Tech session
Ellen
Last week I visited Hyper Island in Karlskrona to have a workshop with the tech students. They are focusing on different technologies and explore the step of reaching their technical solution. There were some ambitious ideas and I helped them in the right directions. Some of the technologies explored were Arduino integreation with ping sensors and using the Wii remote as an input to control a game in Flash. The findings will be presented for all to see.
The tech students are also bizi working on their class site launching at the 15th of May. Stay tuned at http://whatisxv.com/. Use the hashtag #THEXV to get access to the site.
