Lovely Interactive Worm
November 2022
The Electronic ARTrium team at the Georgia Institute of Technology seeks to combine computer vision-based sensing, video, music, and mechatronics to create dynamic, multidisciplinary interactive art exhibits that do not require participants to use “wearables”.
Sound, mechatronics, and projected video are all utilized to create a seamless, sensor-driven dynamic artistic exhibit using real-time interactions from participants.
The ultimate goal of any Electronic ARTrium exhibit is to invoke a sense of wonder and intrigue in its participants as they explore how their movements influence the installation.
As for my accomplishments, I designed the platform and electrical architecture. The electrical architecture includes a 12V power supply, a 5V power supply, 3 servo motors, a DC motor, fuses, LEDs, a fan, ON/OFF and mode switches, Arduino Uno, and Arduino Ethernet board. I laser cut the worm's platform and soldered the Arduino boards and electrical components. Below is a fun, lighthearted video showcasing the worm as well as a video overview of the ARTrium.
