Intro to Computer Science: Apple vs. Android

This is the final project for Fall 2014 Introduction to Computer Science at NYU Shanghai.

2014 HackShanghai: JOY Mouse

The idea of JOY Mouse is generated during Barcamp 2014 at NYU Shanghai. This project is initially designed for those that are disabled to use a regular mouse but still able to either move one finger or the arm to control a computer freely. During HackSH, China’s largest college hackathon, this project was further explored and the prototype was done within 24 hours. Also, the instruction video and a web page for the JOY Mouse were also done during that period. This project won the 2nd Best Hardware Hack in that hackathon.

 

Introduction to Photography

These are some of my works when I took Introduction to Photography at NYU Shanghai.

Jack’s Exercise 10: One Day of Tuzki

Jack’s Exercise 9: Twelve (Group Work with Ian, Cindy and Xiaoyu)

Note: This is a group work of Jack B. Du (Jiadong Du), Ian Beckman Reagan, Cindy Hu and Xiaoyu Ma.

Jack’s Exercise 8: Storyboard for Video Project (Group Work with Ian, Cindy and Xiaoyu)

Note: This is a group work of Jack B. Du (Jiadong Du), Ian Beckman Reagan, Cindy Hu and Xiaoyu Ma.

 This is what we have when we were brainstorming.

Jack’s Exercise 7: Cut You Out Of My Heart (Group Work with Xiaoyue and Sarabi)

Note: This is a group work of Xiaoyue Gong, Sarabi N. Eventide and Jack B. Du (Jiadong Du).

Jack’s 12th Project: Jobot Arm

Some Thoughts about this Semester and this Course:

At the beginning of the course, what I want to do for this course is robot. I developed an interest in robotics when I was in middle school. At that time, I do not know much about an Arduino, but I know I can make a robot with it. There are tons of sensors that I may use for the robot. The more sensors I have, the more potentials the robot has. I have explored quite a few sensors in the past semester.

Jack’s 11th Project: Image Processing

After learning to load images and even load pixels, I decided to make a magnifying glass. But during the process, I happened to make something mosaic. So it turned out I managed to make both.

Jack’s 10th Project: Audio Visulization

Simple enough, I transformed the sound wave into different columns’ heights and the color of the background. At the same time, columns’ heights do not change immediately, instead, there is a transition that I added, which made it look nicer.
