In order for participants to play on the interactive floor surface they first need to collect game-time by climbing the stairs in the building. I’m…

This section is for posts about my MSc project at UCLIC, over the summer of 2012. I’m researching the use of a large scale interactive surface to be used as a reward for completing physical activity in a university building.
I’ve posted an introduction of the project, this might be the best place to start.
A couple of weeks back I posted part 1– where I made a comparison of the different types of sensors I could use to count…
As part of my MSc project I am measuring human activity on the stairwells in the MPEB, I’ve made some Arduino based people-counters which are…
Yesterday I took my arduino PIR counter prototypes upto London for some testing in the building where they will be used, I’ve now got two…
Here’s my supervisor, Jon Bird, with one square’s worth (36 units) of the LED units for the floor display lit up in red! Hopefully by…
Last week we got the four Thermitrack Cameras talking to openFrameworks on the Mac, we’ve got the cameras outputting point data over serial and we’re…
The most important part of my MSc project is the study, part of this will be a simple quantitative measurement of stairs activity before and…
In order to track participants movements across the interactive surface we’re using Thermitrack thermal image tracking cameras, mounted on the ceiling above. Although not an…
I thought I’d post this up partially to help anybody confused about how to solder these Maplin PC78K in-line fuse holders, and also to show…
Now that I’ve introduced the project as a whole this post will give a little more information on the interactive surface itself, and how it’s…
