Today in class my group (same group as project 1 plus NEW member Kevin! yay!) discussed further our thoughts on project 2. We changed route a bit after a fresh perspective offered by Kevin, awesome!
We are still going to focus our attention on the campus community, and want to make positive social change in the library by installing small devices that will help people be more aware of their affect on others around them. These devices will sense the volume at tables in the library and reprimand students if their noise reaches specific levels (depending on the area of the library, serious study areas would have a lower noise tolerance). Sound and light will be incorporated to alert students of their possible annoyance to others.
This idea will be great for our group to focus our attention on and I am so excited to get going. Now we just need to figure out how to get the arduino to sense sound and then trigger a pre-recorded sound or message/ lights...
Although this project isn't necessarily as grand as we could possibly go (in scale), it will definitely benefit the population here on campus because I know I have had some bad library experiences and that is one place you should be able to find peace to work.
