EXPLORING BIOMIMETICINTERFACESWelcome!
CIID 2013 July 14 - 26Exploring Biomimetic InterfacesGabriella Levine + Genevieve Hoffman
Over the course of 2 weeks [ 9:00h - 17:00h ] :
3 design thinking cycles:[1 hour][3 hours][7 days : this is your core project]
1 hands on design challenge [1 hour]
3 Arduino Labs [digital and analog circuits][serial communication][sensors]

TODAY
1. name2. background / field of practice3. hometown4. example of bio-inspired work of yours?5. what do you hope to get out of this course? 6. have you used Arduino or Processing
before? 7. do you get more excited by inputs or
outputs?
INTROS

- blogging your work - login access? - each stage of the process - ideation sketches,
prototypes, writing - photos, videos [youtube, vimeo, flickr] - how do you typically document your work?
DOCUMENTATION
BIOMIMETICS
• flight• adhesion• adaptation & reconfiguration• process complex three-dimensional
(3D) • recycle power • self-replicate, self-grow • generate and store energy• optimization of search algorithms• artificial intelligence
COMMUNICATION
BIG DATA
• Nature runs on sunlight• Nature uses only the energy it needs• Nature fits form to function• Nature recycles everything• Nature rewards cooperation• Nature banks on diversity• Nature demands local expertise• Nature curbs excesses from within• Nature taps the power of limits
- Jan Benyus
BIOMIMETIC PRINCIPLES
DESIGN THINKING
Floating lantern
Using only 3 types of the selected items, design a floating vessel to hold a lit
candle.The candle must stay lit for 1 full minute.

TODAY
1. Biomimicry:1. Example of an inspiring biomimetic project you love2. Example of a biomimetic project you hate
Document with photos and writing : what is the project, who created it, why do you / dont you like
it?
2. Interfaces:Tonight, on your way home, document your experience with
any three interfaces that you interact with. Take photos / videos and post about it on the blog.
3. Install Arduino Software:http://arduino.cc/download
