Degree presented
Another chapter in life is over. I just finished my degree in the Digital Media Class of Prof. Joachim Sauter after studying at Berlin University of the Arts for five years. The picture shows the prototype. An extensive project documentation will be produced during the next months. Stay tuned.

Prototype 1 – first video
Finally, here comes the first video of my prototype. It shows the deformation capabilities in 2 directions.
One servo motor is used for the extension of the ring, the other for the movement of the vertical rod. The controlling is done from Java with a Bluesmirf bluetooth module and a Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller. I found that the gears and wheels need to be mounted in a very exact way to create a smooth movement. Now I’m going to build the other rings to create the threedimensional shape. » Lowres video [374×210 px, 500 Kbit/s stream] |
