What's Fadoodle?

Visual and tactile learners need a more engaging platform than pencil and paper.  Fadoodles helps students build words before their eyes in an interactive learning environment for…

1} Please see the first code to read through how I referenced the library of english words. The lexicon was downloaded from the internet and can be found easily on google

2)Please see the below code if you had questions as to my recognition software in java. I wrote it as simply as I could and it traces through the recognition, reference, and projection.

USE A ACRYLIC SQUEEGEE (or a squeegee of some sorts)!

The key is to stay away from towels or cloth that are really porous. These can fit into the groves of the rastoring and will take away the paint. Using other tools to scrape away a layer of paint may also scratch the acrylic with paint so this is not a viable alternative. 

USE LOW A LOWER POWER AND GO OVER THE MATERIAL MULTIPLE TIMES

I have experimented a lot with the numbers but it all depends on the type of wood and thickness. In general, you should stay patient and not open the machine to see if the cut went all the way through. The problem with this is that you will mess up the alignment and wont be able to cut the material in the same spot again. My suggestion, therefore, is to print the cut and re-print until you can see that the cut out…

NEVER USE SUPER GLUE

It leaves an awful mark that ruins the design. Acrylic glue works on wood with acrylic and sometimes even with wood on wood. At first it will seem like you can see the wet areas, but the porous nature of the wood quickly sucks in the excess glue and it leaves a great finish. 

For My final assignment in BBA I really want to put together something memorable. As before I want to keep it simple and engaging, but I want technology to drive its design. So far I've been playing around with a number of things. My goal is to reuse the toy blocks that I made in our last project to continue to define a toolkit for spelling, reading, and word recognition. How far this goes, is still up for discussion...…

Welcome! Throughout the course of the quarter I'll be posting about my class projects in BBA, WInter 2012. My name is Shane Hegde and I'm currently a junior undergraduate at, here, at Stanford.

Through the last three years I've had a growing interest in the modern pop art movement, and my hope was to blend that art into design. In addition, as a junior, I've been going though multiple interviews for summer internships and I want my own daily interactions to blend into…

I came into this project and away from my conversations with my aunt having 4 goals that I wanted to adhere too: 

Exploring this concept deeper I knew it needed to be simple, yet flexible enough to grow with the user. Sahil is a creative kid, as are most 3 year olds, so I needed to find a way to provide…

WIth the plan laid out, I had to begin making steps in the right direction. To begin I mapped out the materials I would need and focused on the most important piece of the puzzle: the feducials. Using a 1/6" acrylic sheet I could rastor and attach another layer to the wooden letters that would still be thin enough for the magnets to work. This would block the orange layer from "glowing" through capturing light and pushing it through the letters, but the new black layer was essential to…

Its hard being miles away from family. I'm the only child West of the…

For this weeks project we have to copy an everyday object in silicone and add a little twist to it (including a GoGoBoard with some sort of response system). Though it seems a little ambitions my hope is to create a wristband from silicone that looks like a yarn friendship bracelet and can hold a piece of ChapStick. Its that time of year again when winter takes over and lush lips rapidly becomes an afterthought. My goal is to make something this week that is both functional and engaging. I…
