Once we had decided that our arduino board was going to control a projection in our Stonehouse location, we then needed to look at what information in particular could be captured from the arduino that could control what the projection looked like. There were a number of options for this as listed below:
- microphone info - projection of sounds
- time between uses of crossing - track times between light sensor triggers
- amount of uses of crossing - track number of times light sensor triggers
- motion sensing - number of people passing through
However being that our aim for the projection is to encourage people to use the crossing properly more often we felt that the best way of doing this would be to use the times between the pedestrian light last being switched on. The shorter the time between presses the more the projection would change and therefore this would encourage the pedestrians to press the button more often, and so hopefully use the crossing correctly more often.
This does not mean that the other options for manipulation of the projection could not also be used alongside the time based one but that the time based one would be the main control for the projection and the others would be used to provide extra data to the system to make the projection more versatile.
The next step in implementing our final project is to come up with a working arduino to flash system and then work out what our projection is going to do and how this is linked to our overall idea.
