Fingers

Essentially given free reign over our project, I chose to explore physical computing through the creation of silicone fingers with flex sensors embedded into them. With the goal of creating something that is intensely interactive and would provoke a sense of curiosity.

April 2022

This was a picture from (4/12/22) of the flex sensors being cast into the silicone fingers

Here is the flex sensor being tested out. I had two options to connect my flex sensors to my computer, one was via Adafruit IO, and the other Processing. After experimenting with Adafriut IO, I realized the connection was not reponsive enough. So moved towards processing to allow for instantanious reponse from the fingers when you go to touch them.

In the video below is a demo of the fingers in use. The index finger controls the diameter of the circle, while the middle fingers controls hue.
