Final : Processing prototype

I built a Processing prototype of the Wall. The concept is a cardboard wall which engages users that stand idle near it by attempting to enclose users. Vibration sensors on the ground detect the presence of users, and when the stop moving. Users on either side of the wall will be engaged.

To use below prototype, drag users (blue circles) near the wall. When movement stops for a number of seconds, the wall will move:

Final : Research





Final Project : Concepts and Research

"Wall"

My initial concept began as a wall. I wanted to play with the ways traditional walls separate those on either side, reference things that let us move and communicate between walls (doors and windows), and devise a novel method for "traveling" through a solid structure.

Some initial sketches:
