Interactive Display
Designing an Interactive Attraction
Project
Using the HKIS Design process, design, create, and improve an interactive window display that attracts visitors to the IDEA Studio.
Constraints
display uses a maximum width (~ 1100 mm) of a window pane in the IDEA Studio
merges with adjacent window displays within the theme of the display
controlled by single board microcontroller(s) to produce interactivity
mainly constructed from materials that are recyclable or up-cycled
Criteria
effectively uses sensors (input) and actuators (output) to create interactivity
Design relies on code programmed by a member of the design team
includes digitally fabricated elements designed by a design team member
Stable
The display element is stable and durable enough to hold up over time and regular use.Functional
Display is functional and reliably works as designed.Aesthetics
The display element is pleasing to look and hides construction materials and design
Outcomes
Attractive design which finds students inviting classmates to visit and interact
Experience using the design process to plan, create and improve
Designing for an interactive user experience
Fluency with coding for interactivity with hardware
Develop construction skills for structure, mechanics
Understanding of computer as a design element, construction material, and vehicle of ideas
