8/14- First day of Class

Over the summer, I was exploring the Piazza Santa Maria Novella and there was a small replica of the Duomo built in the corridor of the cathedral.  It was large enough to hold only three people at a time. When we entered, the ramp automatically closed behind us like a spaceship and the inside was pitch black until it turned into a mini IMAX theater describing the  architecture and history of the Duomo.

For Christmas about five years ago, my little brother got a table top game called Mind Flex. It had a headband with two little sensors on the temples and when you concentrated, you controlled the speed of the fans on the game board that controlled the movement of a ping pong ball.

I would like to learn human interaction with sensors like that table top game. I like the idea of the user being the source of power.
