Overview • 3 Projects • Interactive Sports Board • Interactive Chores Board • Ambient Weather Window
Interactive Sports Board • Decorative poster that shows score updates • Connected to Internet • Modular
Sports score poster Start with a poster
Sports score poster Add LEDs and Arduino
Sports score poster Add the Internet
Sports score poster Add RFID (or some other way to identify objects)
Sports score poster Add the teams!
Sports score poster A team placed on the poster glows according to the current or most recent score of the game that they were in
Chore board • Fun way to keep track of household chores • Track chores across all people in home • OR • Track one person throughout the week
Family CHORE board Progress Bars Avatars Chores As chores are completed, avatars are moved up the bars and the color changes from red to green.
Individual CHORE board Progress Bars Chores Avatar As chores are completed, chores move up the bars and the color changes from red to green. Avatars are assigned to specific boards
Possible additions to chore board • Chore implements glow when chores haven’t been completed recently • Sync to World of Chorecraft website
False window display • For interior rooms without actual windows • Ambient LED cues reflecting current weather • More visually interesting than just color changes
False window display LED pseudo-grid Hidden behind semi-transparent material Colors + patterns indicate weather – blue LEDs imitate rain, yellow sunbursts, etc.
Alternate window display Hidden compartments behind landscape light up based on weather conditions
