initiate first prototype of one design model. start ordering parts and books. research parts, materials and form. begin serial in Processing (or flash). read. think. observe.

get serial in Processing/Flash working. continue design on final form and materials. think about other design possibilities. design what combinations will generate certain images/links in Processing/Flash. design look of visual interface.

finalize second prototype and prepare for formal critique. make prototype able to manipulate several images using combination of sensors, buttons, etc. define algorithm for touching/searching. decide on either Processing or Flash. modify look of visual interface.

evaluate critic feedback. possibly modify form and use of materials. improve/simplify on algorithm of touching. write thesis outline. continue reading. test it with RF.

keep testing algorithm. work to establish consistent appearance of images. make a fluid interface. ask others to test it and give feedback. begin to make it wireless. user test. make as intuitive as possible.

--spring break-- begin making final product with chosen materials and tested sensors.

--no class-- debug whatever i have at this point. keep adding to the "portfolio" in its designed form.

debug whatever i have at this point. make adjustments. test reaction time.

user test. make as intuitive as possible. continue making prototype.

add final touches. final testing.

final presentation...continue improving if i go the following week.

final presentation. breathe.

thesis presentation!!! breathe harder.
