Introduction
Throughout the semester we'll explore various concepts, through readings, videos and discussions. Additionally, we'll collectively crawl this dungeon in order to explore these concepts. This one is based on the book Physical Computing which presents a diagram for "how the computer sees us" the create presented resembles a kind of Beholder, you might be familiar with from Dungeons & Dragons.
The presents ways that you can use microcontrollers (this is right before the popularization of the arduino so it uses a Microchip PIC primarily) with various sensors to create richer interactive experiences, thus allowing the computer to more fully see you or a viewer of an artwork as a person.
The Beholder of Igoe
Enter the dungeon and find out what is waiting inside. Focus the game after opening it, then use W A S D or the arrow keys to move. Press Space or Enter to interact.
Begin your journey of interaction, after you "successfully" interact with the Beholder, a portal will open in the dungeon.
