Human Computer Interaction with Arduino

Students will work in small teams to research a common type of sensor and how to use an Arduino microcontroller to read its values, creating a video and written tutorial summarizing the key concepts and practical steps required to use their sensor. They will then creatively apply this knowledge by designing and creating their own input device using a combination of sensors to control a simple arcade game, art installation, or other program. This parallels my project at FXPAL which was to create a proof of concept demonstration for how to use the Kinect 2 sensor to naturally control a mobile robot through gesture.
