Final Project Concept


We settled on a final concept for our final project. It will be a box containing a grid of four squares. Each square will have a distance sensor, so that when a user places his hand over it and lifts, We’re considering making the surface of the blocks from stretched fabric so that it can collapse within the base. We want to work with the illusion of the rising blocks being taller than the height of the base. We haven’t settled on how the lift will work, but we’re thinking scissor lifts. Tonight we’re planning on getting the lights working, messing with the distance sensor, and constructing a prototype box. 

For our final project our team (Sebastian, David, Annie, Nick) decided to create an interactive object. The concept for the object is to have a box with 4 rectangles inside of it. Once the user hoovers their hand over a cube it is activated and begins to grow out of the box depending on the height of the hand. This box is meant to create wonder and curiosity in children. How was the rectangle able to come out of the box if the box is shorter than the final height of a rectangle?
