Smart Home and Smart City Concepts
HCDE 539 | Autumn 2016 | Andrew Davidson, Rafal Kocielnik
Open Studio – December 5, 2016
In the Autumn 2016 edition of HCDE 539 – Physical Computing and Prototyping, students designed and built interactive prototypes of a smart city or smart home system.
All of the projects were implemented using the Arduino micro-controller with assorted sensors and actuators from a custom kit of parts assembled for us by Adafruit.com. The kit details are here: Arduino Kit. (Some projects used additional components, from our lab or sourced elsewhere.)
We held an open studio during the last meeting of the course (December 5, 2016) to showcase all of the projects. The Zombie Apocalypse was narrowly averted, with a lively exchange of creative, clever, and well-crafted ideas.
The gallery below features a video demo of each project, a written report about it, and implementation files (code and schematics).
