Week 6 - Convergence of Ideas


All the Whamo projects finally are up and reflect a
broad vision of ideas and new forms. Merit can be
found in all the work - so much so that many of the
illustrations were missing from last weeks first showing.

Our studio session dealing with a basic system schematic
completes our look into electronics until later in the semester
when we peek at the robotics of Japan. Teams were assigned for
our "free" project 2. Time to make reality! John

Week 5 - Toy Electronics

The wrapup began tonight on our Whamo project with
everyone moving into final illustration work. A great look
at toy marketing as seen through the commercial spot.

We also began to look at the basic systems that
can be found in all toys....an embedded schematic
of input / output devices quietly run by simple controllers
and smart programming.
