Interface Objects 2018 Chuan Khoo

Hi! My name is Chuan Khoo and I'm the author of this online resource.

Technologies for Interactivity is a learning supplement to the technological components that I teach across multiple courses surrounding interactive technologies. The content here is specific to a range of hardware and software frameworks I employ in working with digital media, electronics and interactivity. If you are a student in one of my courses, be sure to refer to the course materials first, and consult this online resource as a scaffold to the core content.

This resource does not cover the basics of electronics prototyping – there are tons of such material available online for that. You may want to refer to the Curated Links pages for links to useful, relevant Internet resources, or the links provided within each article that will point you towards the right direction.

Who is this for?

This site is written for anyone who wants an introduction to the world of physical computing, and to pick up some software frameworks and coding to prototype and integrate ideas related to interactivity in their creative work.

It is particularly pitched towards creative practitioners who have moderate to little experience in coding, electronics and related software platforms, but wish to experiment with these technologies in their own field of creative work.

Disclaimer

You assume personal responsibility and liability in assessing the suitability of the circuits, your own wiring and further modifications to the code. The recipes and information are provided only as a starting point and safety concerns should be sensibly considered on your own part. I will not be responsible for any electrical catastrophe, injury or death that may arise from the use, improper or otherwise, of my code and example circuitry.
