## Module 2

### In Project 2, we are expanding on our initial exploration from Project 1 by continuing to develop our concept and research through physical computing. Building on our previous idea of an exercise band that adjusts air pressure to create varying resistance levels, our focus is on using external sensors to prototype interactive experiences that support physiotherapy recovery. We are currently exploring how to connect an Arduino with an air pressure sensor and link this data to a ProtoPie app that visualizes and tracks pressure levels. This stage of development shows experimentation with sensors, data, and interface feedback. Although we have not yet finalized all findings, our goal is to create a system that connects physical input and digital tracking, enhancing user engagement and recovery monitoring.

## Project 2 Prototype

Throughout this project, we expanded on our original idea of an adjustable resistance band by exploring how physical computing could bring it to life. The workshops helped us build our cardboard prototype through geurrilla prototyping, which let us quickly test form and function. The activities focused on the technical side, helping us understand how to use the air pressure sensor and the Arduino to collect data. We ran into some issues with the pressure sensor and spent time troubleshooting, and we’re now waiting for a new one to see if it works better. Overall, this project taught us a lot about connecting physical components with digital feedback and how technology can support interactive recovery experiences.
