Applications and implications

what will it do? A device to kids interact with the computer : virtual to real and vice versa. who's done what beforehand? Jie Qui has a beatiful work with shape memory: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/MIT/863.10/people/jie.qi/jieweek14.html what materials and components will be required? Foam, acrylic , nitinol and eletronics components. how much will it cost? The nitinol and foam are outside the invetory and will be less than $50.00 USD what parts and systems will be made? The Foam plataform will support the eletronic devices and the mobile system (shape memory). what processes will be used? Computer- Aided Design, Fabrication ( laser cut, printer 3D and milling machine) Embedded Programming ( boards circuit ) , Input & Output ( sensors), Electronics Design and Production ( boards circuit ) and a simple inferface. what tasks need to be completed? 1. The device theme ( education or game) 2. The plataform design and functions ( sensors, boards, shape memory) 3. The components design. what questions need to be answered? The kids interests about the device, will be attractive to them? what is the schedule? First answer the questions about the theme and beguin to design it. how will it be evaluated? I want to do a project that have a overview about the academy skills.
