Preguntas iniciales / First day questionary

1. ¿Cuáles son vuestros objetivos a corto plazo (qué esperáis terminar en dos semanas)? / What is the short-term objective (what do you expect to finish in 2 weeks)?

Desarrrollar los los elementos que demuestran la viabilidad de la propuesta:

aplicación de la visualización- algorithmo de crecimiento conforme a los elemntos de interacción.

Conexión con interfaces físicos: regadera (añade agua a las plantas); trompeta( habla a la planta).

Visualiz<span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1266846364437_413" />ación e interacción desde la web. dispositivos móviles.

2. ¿Cuáles son vuestros objetivos a largo plazo (qué posterior desarrollo pensáis para el proyecto)? / What is the long term objective (what posterior development do you think of)?

Crear una comunidad.

Crear una aplicación que arranca desde slow a long period, a través de:

arquitectura informativa para la visualización.

Comunidad en la web.

'3. ¿Con qué colectivos o grupos de personas trabaja el proyecto para abrir el proceso de producción? ¿Cómo? / Whith which collectives or groups of people does the project work with to open up the production process? How?

Residentes, turistas, usuarios del barrio, en general.

4. ¿Cómo pensáis que el proyecto se adaptará al entorno donde se ubica la fachada digital y qué repercusines sociales tendrá? / How do you think the project will be adapted to the digital fachade's enviroment and which social repercussions will have?

Ofrece la posibilidad de crear una responsabilidad hacia la comunidad que se cree, en relación a la creacción y crecimiento de plantas digitales, gracias a su cuidado( riego, hablar con ellas), con el entorno y con la gente que contribuye a su desarrollo.

5. ¿En qué otros proyectos o teorías os habéis inspirado? / What are the inspiring projects and theories; background, context, references?

Instrucciones de instalación del proyecto en un equipo desde cero / How to install the project in a clean computer:

Software

1. Processing

Libraries needed to be downloaded into processing libraries- 1. arduino library 2. Sonia Sound library. (These can be found easily from processing.org)

2. Arduino.

3. Simple digital Firmata for processing uploaded to one of the Arduinos.

Hardware

Component list :

for spray watering can*

- 2 Arduinos (one with micro controller, one without.)

- 2 XBees

- 9V battery

- USB

for Talking device*

- Blue tooth enabled baby monitor.

Como ejecutar el programa / How to execute the program :

Initial Setup:

For water spray can

1. "simple digital firmata" uploaded to the arduino with the chip. ** make sure the serial port for both processing application and firmata is the same.**

2. Mount the Xbee on this and attach the switch from the spray can to power(Red), ground(black) and digital input 2 (green).

3. Batteries!

4. Fix it inside the water spray can.

5. The other arduino (without the chip) is mounted with the other Xbee and connected to the computer.

For the talking device

1. The "baby" part of the bay monitor - the Mincrophone - is already mounted in the mega phone-type device.

2. the receiver or the "parent " end is connected to the line in of the computer.

3. Connect the blue tooth by switching both the devices on.

4. Once connected they are good to use.

To run the program

Run the processing sketch.

Make sure that the usb port in the processing sketch and to which the arduino is connected are the same. - this can also be checked through the serial port drop down menu in arduino software.

Everything now should hopefully be working fine!

Notes from the first team meeting:

De las ramas secas de los árboles se derrite a gotas los vestigios de la blanca nieve.
Los tallos que retoñan de los árboles advierten el paso del tiempo incontenible de las plazas.
Se han barrido ya casi todas las hojas, que regadas pintaron las calles.
Los cálidos rayos del astro confortan a todo aquel que con lento andar, sólo contempla.

Escuchemos el canto de las aves al guardar silencio un momento.

Caminar sobre las crujientes hojas secas que han quedado.
Cuidemos de este jardín que representa la vida y el tiempo,
Hablarle, sentir y compartir con él su crecimiento y el nuestro
Y antes de desvanecerse lo efímero. Sólo una mirada y un respiro.

Si el mundo es la mesa donde sentarse
compartamos de la vida, que es el pan y del tiempo que es el vino. Oswaldo Peña Ortiz 19 de febrero 2010

PROCESO DE TRABAJO <img src="/images/a/a3/Standby_meeting02.JPG" _fck_mw_filename="Standby meeting02.JPG" _fck_mw_width="240" _fck_mw_height="180" _fck_mw_type="frame" alt="" class="fck_mw_frame fck_mw_right" />

10.02.1

output visualization-feedback( is there a diff of feedback between different sources) + immediate feedback-not a god effect but humble contribution. which aspect of "growth" is affected by contribution. algorithm growth-number of inputs-

input -web input from various sources - online mobile phones physical installation - something that becomes part of the space and allows for contribution even when the screen may not be active.

concept -who contributes why contribute what happens when too much contribution do we allow for negative contribution significance of phone interaction metaphors - watering, caring etc

future directions facebook website - nature and extent of control by the users

metaphors for interaction factors and nature iconography

After this, the collaborators contribute with their ideas, how can they be developed and who can produce the work.

<img src="/images/thumb/5/5b/Open_up_%2835%29.JPG/200px-Open_up_%2835%29.JPG" _fck_mw_filename="Open up (35).JPG" _fck_mw_type="thumb" alt="" class="fck_mw_frame fck_mw_right" />Production of sketches to explain the evolution of the project. The objectives are agreed and they can materialise inside of the Open Up workshop context.

It is possible to distinguish;
INPUTS
1. Physical Interaction: It is about taking care of the plants, as a primary idea watering. Later on coming up with pest control, talking to the plant, seeding etc.
2. Web application.
3. Environmental interaction: measure with sensors the parameters such us; Light, speed air, humidity, time, CO2.
OUT PUTS
It is considering some effects in:
1. Feedback: visualizations can change in short term for instance colour, shape an in long term blossoming, growing, etc. Also the interaction responses to the user giving a seed for seeding a plant.

MAIN GOAL
Create a local and non-residents' community who are brought together by taking care of the plants. The feedback of getting back a seed in the virtual environment is converted into real estate if you plant your seed.

Organizing the ideas, establishing some parameters for interaction and community creation.

Doing some research for interaction <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Kz8Nxb-Bg">www.youtube.com/watch</a>

<span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1266433649312_23" />Discussing with the tutors to lead the project in the right direction, suggesting which are the pros and the cons for the steps we may take to make the project sucessful.

Producing some visualization ideas.<img src="/images/thumb/2/28/Flower1-1-.jpg/200px-Flower1-1-.jpg" _fck_mw_filename="Flower1-1-.jpg" _fck_mw_location="left" _fck_mw_type="thumb" alt="" class="fck_mw_frame fck_mw_left" />

Locating interaction devices on site.

Redifining some key points.

Programming with processing to produce screen visualizations.

Testing some pimary visualizations on the facade.

Web interface for the application .

Building up the technical interaction using arduino, bluetooth and sensors.

Getting more accurate visualizations considering; shape, various colours, movement of the stems, flowers, etc.

18 Febrero 2010

Evolution of the project.

Instead of having a garden ,we decided to have a unique plant that is taken care of by the community. Then the growth depends on the care she receives.The interaction depends on (time, colours change acording to the year´s season,talking to the plants, trimming, watering)

Having a personal and spiritual panel.

New gardening tools are being using it for interaction.

FINAL TESTING <img src="/images/6/69/CIMG1098-1-.JPG" _fck_mw_filename="CIMG1098-1-.JPG" _fck_mw_location="right" alt="" class="fck_mw_right" />
