Description: The Laundry Detector is a personalized project that was a response to my washing machine not making any sound or light indicator whenever it was finished. As a result, I wanted to make something that would let me know when my laundry needed to be put into the dryer. As shown in this video, the detector is illuminating green for when it is available to load in laundry, red for when it is washing some laundry, and yellow when it has finished the laundry which is coupled with a buzzer that tells me that the laundry has finished.

Description: The main goal of this project is to outline the potential direction of human computer interaction (HCI) being integrated with philosophy, design, and technology. In today’s society, it seems impossible to connect those things together in ideal ways, which can inhibit progress or efficiency. Without the motivation to do so, these hotspots of content rich sections will not be able to synthesize together into a web of new ideas and journeys. Even though the experience may look unattractive or unattainable from the outside, the real importance lies in the goal, in this case ergonomics and UX/UI, of that technology and recentering when it goes astray.

Description: The goal of this project is to create an assistive device for our client, Monica. We interviewed her through a Zoom meeting on March 18, 2024, in order to find specific and personalized needs or wants that she may have that we can address. We decided on a Catheter Timer according to her request.

Description: A light shines into a little stub that tells how bright the light is. Then, the small motor spins slower when there is less light shining on the stub. That then makes the lever attached to the black box be pressed less, which then lowers the degrees of the white stick on the blue box. So, the brighter the light is, the slower the motor spins, so the lower the angle is; the darker the light is, the faster the motor spins, so the higher the angle is.

Description: For our translator, we will use three existing models: a translation model, a text to speech model to generate natural and expressive AI voices, and a voice adjustment model to tune up the sound we generated. The last model is known as “voice cloning” and it involves capturing the essence of the speaker’s vocal range, pronunciation and style in order to produce the same quality of speaking that a human would.
