Process

In the beginning, we got an idea that would make the classes and common work-spaces quieter. To realize it, we needed to detect the sounds in class. After a few experiments, we selected the MIC AMP Adjustable sensor and made it to work with a simple LED. Then we thought about how to use an ambient way to send the information that would remind people to be quiet. We thought motor is a good way. As shown in the video, we used a motor that makes a stern figurine shudder its finger to remind people to be quiet in a harmonious way. There is also a LED in the forehead to showcase the anger. We added a speaker output at the beginning but removed it as it would create an excessive amount of disturbance.
