Hi!
I'd like to share a project developed by me and other two students at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID, www.ciid.dk).
It is a project that aims at teaching barcodes to children through the use of music.
Video:
It has been developed in 4 days during Massimo Banzi/David A. Mellis/David Gauthier's Physical Computing class.
Feedback is welcome!
Thanks.
Thanks for your question.
Barcode is a technology that is very common but there are many aspects that are not clear to the vast majority of people (ie, 4 b/w stripes signify a number). The project is about making children grasp these concepts, not about making them read a barcode.
Nice project, so many things and concepts can be learned and remember so much better and faster if one mixes fun into it. Nice project, particularly like the etched wooden frame.
