I'm think that my project is going to be a something that you use to communicate via footsteps. You will be talking without actually speaking. The language will be through the lights flashes.
Some of the ideas:
Communication system / Semaphore
Some thing based around the game "Hop Scotch"
Morse Code - use timing , so the length of time the light stays on for, will communicate something.
Braille
The Tecnology I need:
Pressure sensors that triggers LED to light up and form a pattern.
Its kinda like Fifreflies, they have lights at the end of their body and they use it to communicate,
This really encapsulates the discussion we had on Friday - so now you just need to make it work! I think the pressure mat/tile should be fairly simple - what you'll need to think about are the materials for the mat (which depends on where it will be used). I like the idea of verbal footsteps and thinking about the different contexts in which these might be used to communicate. This video got me thinking about communicating across distances without using phones - people shouting from rooftops - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4YvFkgXX38 And therefore the power of lots of people doing something at once.
