The Setup of Work
with thanks to Peter we tried adjusting the lights,
deciding which surface is best for the projection
loved the effect of projecting on bubble warp … but maybe in some next project
making the platform and borrowing plinth

Aspiration:
Entanglement is an Interactive Floor Projection derived from a passage a friend shared “Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance—instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.” Where we can talk about night and day each cannot exist without the other yet they can not be together at the same time; partly romantic and since then, particles in quantum state have been a source of inspiration, aspiration in concluding of my final project.

Concept:
The out-look of individual is always changing. We are changing not only our outlook rather we are playing different roles.
Project:
Based on the concept, my project is going to be based on a portrait with lights placed underneath creating illusion of changing. Strips will be going across the work, moving.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION:
Our project is called Twinkle-B. It is a Special needs toy that detects stress and anxiety in young children on the autistic spectrum. Many children on the spectrum find it difficult to communicate, leading to frustration and sometimes what is known as a meltdown. The idea behind Twinkle-B is to allow the child to visually see how they are feeling by using a ‘galvanic skin response’ sensor and LED lights. Although the product is in its first steps, it will eventually be able to measure other kinds of emotions and visually record it. Not only will the child be able to see it, but the parent will be able to see and record the emotions through the output. Most of all it is done in a fun yet simple way!
Starting the Project
having a video conference
the first working model
Trying to work with micro board
PROJECT STEPS:
- Stage 1 was to connect a GSR to an Arduino, and then work out two emotional states ( blue for normal and yellow for stressed) and have that correspond with the LED’s.
- To make sure that the LED’s were working in time with the GSR, so that when the user felt something, one LED would come on and then when they stopped, it would switch off and the other LED would come on instead.
- After step 3 was complete, we had to make sure that the connections were working on the board and that the program defiantly worked in the board, so that once the circuit went into the bear, it would have no problems.
- Step four was to place the circuits inside the bear. (we had fun here) we had to make sure that the wires were in the right places though. We put the breadboard in first and then used wire and threaded it through from the side
- Lastly, we connected the LED’s through the stomach of the bear and then the GSR to the circuit and tested it. WE WERE GOOD TO GO!

The Code
//This code will change the colour of the LEDs depending on heat signitures but we want to later on make it detect anxiety levels.
//when the body is stressed, the heart and pulse beat faster and breathing becomes shallow. Many children on the autistic spectrum
//suffer from anxiety and stress, but often cannot verbalise how they are feeling.
//We wanted to create a toy to help children to understand visually in an interactive and fun way!
//inspired by the GSR tutorial on the ‘instrucables’ website

“I am Malala”: A Review of the Book and Its Implications for Education
I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Little, Brown and Company, 2013
“I am Malala” is the true story of a fourteen-year old girl’s campaign for women’s right to education. In 2011 Malala was shot by the Taliban in a bus on her way home from school. Two men boarded the school bus—“Who is Malala” they asked and fired gun shots; two lodged in Malala’s head. The series of events that followed, described in Malala’s voice, are remarkable—the politics, the media frenzy and her recovery. The shooting triggered a complex series of negotiations involving prominent political figures from Pakistan and England. It’s a powerful book. Malala’s story is remarkable in light of women’s role in her culture and the groups fighting to oppress women—in this case the Taliban. It was the Taliban that claimed responsibility for shooting Malala calling…
