ArborOptics – a recap

Having spent the entire second half of the semester focused on one single project for Physical Computing, it’s very difficult to take a few steps back and try to recap the entire experience. However, as that’s pretty much the whole point of presenting to an audience, let’s give this a try, shall we?

For this adventure, I’m working with Tom to use iStopMotion (because I really did have way too [...]
