There is the world that we live in and one that we imagine. [This collection of work represents an effort to] inch closer to the latter. (Frank Chimero)

Harmony

Marble Drop // Iot Communication

Nontraditional communication devices where the state of one device informs the other. Two users across a distance may place their marble at the top of the ramp to drop the other users. One marble remains at the top and one always at the bottom.

Servo Motors, Photoresistors, MQQT, Arduino, p5.js, Laser Cutting

Concept sketch - Identifying two separate states for each ramp. If a marble is at the top on one device, it will result in a fall to the bottom on the second device.

Prototype Interaction - Demoing interaction of marble drop

Prototype & Revised Form

Creating space for internal wiring

Refining gate arm

Refined Form - Final iteration moves to lasercut form with internal hardware design and refined drop gate.
