Introduction

My Name is Hassan A Badru, a Computer Engineering concentration and I am currently a senior gradually May 2012 at Morgan State University.

I am currently working with Dr Lawrence Walker on a research project which requires me to make the Altera Cyclone II 2C35 FPGA highly interactive for kids. This would be a challenging project as I would need to first understand what kids enjoy which includes colors, lights, voices and buttons.

As a computer engineer, I am bounded by system requirements as result I would need to set system requirements. I would make children interactivity be my first requirement. As I move further, other requirements would surface and I would be forced to implement them into my design.
My next challenge would be the design and lastly construction and implementation.I would need the knowledge of digital signal processing and hardware description language while working on this project.


Ideas For Project
1. Speech recognition - by first training the device with a signal, then comparing with trained signal.
2. Voice change - receiving voice/signal, then process the signal and finally output the modified signal.
3. Rhythmic lightning - letters and number displayed in rhythmic pattern.
4. Photo Morph - allow user to take a face snapshot, and then get it morphed on a display screen.
