Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like using my background in computer science, HCI, and design to uncover answers to questions people didn't know they should be asking, and then crafting a data-driven, design-polished, narrative-rich artifact to tell the story.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.
Headbanger’s Ball
Ever been so stressed or frustrated that you just wated to bang your head against the wall? Well, now you have the HeadBanger’s Ball – a retrofitted boxing pad which senses your headbutt’s (or punches, etc.) and help relieve your stress by insulting you each time you hit it, until you are too tired to keep fighting. Feel better fast. Uses Processing with the Sonia audio library and the Arduino microcontroller for the sensory input.
Tools: Programming using Processing with the Sonia sound library and Arduino. Built with a boxing pad, balsa wood, button sensors, wires.
