Pcomp Final: Logistics

I’m excited to be moving forward with the wearable pulse transmitter for my pcomp project. The idea has grown into a larger collaboration with Aaron Parsekian and Danielle Butler. The three of us will be collaborating on the physical computing components. Aaron and I will be collaborating on the ICM components. Here’s a link to the project outline. Here’s a link to the tag on my blog for this project.

Playtesting/Questions

  • How do we make projection impactful but still portable?
  • How literal does translation of vitals need to be to be effective?
  • Does translation of vitals and not movement get confusing?
