I’ve been working on my senior project for a while. Now its time to share some information about it. .)
I photographed and filmed every state of this project and I’ll make a website to inform you guys more about this and my previous projects.
My first idea was to use deformable display surface ( like in khronos projector ) in order to add more visible and more haptic z depth. This way I could collect pressure data by tracking deformations on the display. After some conversations and tests made with people, I decided to build a circular table in 90 cm height, 1 meter wide ( 10 cm border, 40 cm inner radius )
The hardest part was to decide on one of the lots of ideas and limiting the content and interactions in order to keep it simple and not to confuse people too much :)
The final idea was simple. The surface acts as the spacetime continium. Pressure bends the spacetime and generates matter (with mass) which is tend to attract each other.
Collision of matters causes new, bigger and heavier matters ( Like joining bubbles ) When they collide they exchanges and transfers their momentums to the new matter. If they don’t collide, they create eliptical orbits around the closest and relatively bigger matters. ( Like sun-earth and earth-moon ).
Any comment is welcome
