This is the website for the project by group O in the ubiquitous computing course fall -09 at Chalmers .
Our project is a tangible game that helps kids learning grammar, by letting them tangibly arrange blocks with words into the correct order. The main user group is kids 7-12 years old learning a foreign language. The basic idea is that the user will get a set of blocks with a word written on top of each. The goal for the user is then to arrange those words into a correct sentence (see the illustration below). It is also possible to hear the word spoken by placing it in a "speak"-slot (bottom right in the sketch below).
After the slots where the user are supposed to place the blocks there is either a questionmark or a punktuation mark to indicate if the sentence should be a question or an affirmation.

Almost there
We were able to address the blocks on exibition day and display two word sentences! Maybe it could have worked to read the location of the blocks as well but ...

Maybe working
If we are really lucky we could get two blocks to work on the exibition on Wednesday! We had some communication success between Arduino and the ATmega8 powered blocks.

Board finished
The board is completely wired and we did a first (unsucessful) test of the whole system from Arduino in the board communicating with the ATmega8 in the block through the ...

A new hope
We got some help with the Atmega8 processors (thanks Farshid) so now our plan is once again to have blocks with built in logic in them. We are cutting the ...

Out of time
We have been having big problems with our displays, and now we've focusing on making one lcd display driven by an Arduino instead of a Atmega8, just to show ...
