1. Principles and practices¶

This week I worked on 1 task on Principles and practices in order to communicate an initial project proposal and get started on the documentation process. This was the assignment:

Individual assignment:
Plan and sketch a potential final project, graduated students.

SUMMARY¶

Have you?

1. Sketched your final project idea/s > DONE

2. Described what it will do and who will use it > DONE
PENDING

Draw digitally the sketches

ASSIGNMENT | Individual - Sketch your final project¶

Principles¶

I started thinking in my project putting the focus in some basic ideas.
“During project I must be able to develop a device with this principles… “:

make something useful
make an improvement of something that already exists
make something that could be made by others with low costs
make something achievable
make something scalable
make something that could integrate in&out behaviours
make something that could integrate as many skills and technologies as learnt during the Fab Academy
make something in which electronics plays a major role

Also, I added this features to my list:

make something that I like and that inspires me
make something in a field that I have some experience
make something portable

Framing¶

After that, I realised that it were going to be difficult to define the idea preciselly until the course were giving me more details of the different assignments and technologies to be learnt. Also, the final project could be adjusted and modified according to the advances, so I tried to sketch some instant ideas to start with:

auditory system replic
real time noise cancelling surface
melting/molding machine
flying messenger
space tracker as an universal interpreter (deaf people language, arts, virtual reality,…)
sound spectrum analyser
real time musical harmonizer
musical instrument tuner
