Sensory connection, by 2 students (Gefeng Wang and Xiuyu Liu) in RISD.
Function:
There are 2 projects by using the wooden boxes, and each has different function.
The first one is the touch box, when there’s no touching behavior between the 2 people, the windows of two boxes don’t open. If one touches another person, the windows will open.
The second one is a distance box. If the distance is far (more than 1m), the windows close. If the distance changes into a certain range (0.2m-1m), the window will open. If the distance gets too close (less than 0.2m), the windows close again.
How it’s made?
The second one made of distance sensors. There are 2 sensors in each box, which connect with wires and breadboards. Set up the open-window range by the code. The windows close and open as the distance changes.
