intro to new media arts
Inspired by Iron Man, I wanted to make an Iron Man hand blaster. Not a blaster in a sense that it can destroy things but rather to blast light so basically a hand light. In the movies, Iron Man usually opens his hand to power up his hand blaster and then closes it to turn…
For this project, I made a circuit on the lid of my laptop that turns four LEDs on at the motion of opening the laptop, creating a cool light effect. The chain is conductive and closes the circuit when it touches a loop of conductive wire attached to the cover. Materials: Laptop 4 LEDs…
For this project I attempted making glasses that resemble the exaggerated glasses in anime by making two LEDs light up when touching the middle part of the frame. Due to technical issues, the LEDs light up when you press on the right leg of the frame. Here is how: Materials: Any type of glasses frame…
This is a walkthrough of what I did in an attempt to acquire a cool glowing sword (who doesn’t love a cool sword?). I had several problems that I will include ideas on how to mitigate or work around on a future attempt as well as what I actually did. Materials: Hollow plastic sword Six…
Hi, I made a creative switch circuit , in which the flower that is made up from LEDs light up when air is blown on the fabric material or when the fabric is pressed. Step1. Take all the material listed below: (a) RGB LED’s. ( b)Stranded wire. (c)Battery (4 of 1.5V) (d)Battery holder(AA4). (e)Conductive Fabric. (f)…
For the creative switch project I decided to make it mechanically inclined. The device consists of a rack and pinion assembly. For those who may not know what a rack and and pinion is, it’s a gear and a flat bar that mesh together. It’s most known use is in the steering columns of many…
For my creative switch project I wanted to make a constellation map that would activate when you touched it. I wanted to place it inside of a book so that it had the potential of creating different pages with different constellations. In order to do this, I needed to choose a constellation to replicate and…
For this project I made an embroidered canvas crying red. I chose to make it crying, but it can be easily changed to create different emotions; by making it blush, or have lights around its head. Here is the walk though. Materials: Canvas 5 Red LEDs Conductive thread (any thread will work) Wire 3 metal…
For this creative switch project I decided to attempt making a thinking cap. By simply putting on a pair of glasses an idea is formed, indicated by lights that appear on top of the hat. Materials Needed hot glue/tape glasses hat 2 white LED lights 6 voltage battery pack( 2 three voltage batetries) red and…
Light Up Cup Materials Need: 4.5 Volt Battery Pack 3 AA Batteries 4 Clear LED’s 4 100 Ohm Resistors Copper Tape Wire Cardboard Reusable Coffee Cup Step 1: Start by prototyping the circuit on a breadboard. This ensures that all LED’s work and gives a basic layout for the circuit Step 2: Recreate the…
SORRY, THERE IS NO CLICKBAIT, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT TO SEE THE FINAL PICTURE. MATERIALS: (EXCLUDE THE BATTERIES, CLEAR RUBBER SHEETS, AND WOODEN PLANK) 1 INCH WOODEN DOWEL 4 DIFFERENT COLORED FILM SHEETS (R,G,B,Y) 4 DIFFERENT LED BULBS (R,G,B,Y) 3 VOLTS WATCH BATTERY SMALL PINS COPPER TAPE ALUMINUM PUSH PINS WHITE PAINT…
Materials Required One blank sheet of 9 x 12 in. Mixed media paper One blank sheet of standard letter-size printer paper 5 LEDs 2 Red LEDs 2 Green LEDs 1 yellow led (3) 3-Volt cell batteries Conductive tape Assorted construction paper One roll of clear tape Varying pens and pencils Ruler Step 1: Gather materials….
