In this class we build I/O devices, typically wearable or haptic devices. These are user-facing hardware devices engineered to enable new ways to interact with computers. In order for you to be sucessful in building your own I/O device we will: (1) study and program 8 bit microntrollers, (2) explore different analog and digital sensors and actuators, (3) write control loops and filters, (4) explore sretchable and fabric based electronics, (5) learn how to approach invention, and (6) apply I/O devices to novel contexts such as Virtual Reality.
You will: solve weekly assignments (programming, soldering, circuit design, hardware design, signal processing) and one (hard) final project, in which you build your own standalone I/O device (a wearable or haptics device).
This class requires CMSC 15400 or equivalent. This class is best suited for undergraduates from 2nd year onward. It is possible to take this class as a graduate via petition.
