In this brief I developed designs for an experiential project that extend the concept of user interaction beyond the mouse-keyboard interface. It needed a strong sound element as well as a creative use of visuals. This was fundamentally about looking beyond the computer screen to create a sensor-based interface, allowing users to interact with an audio-visual environment.
I used motion sensors on an Arduino to change the interface depending on how close the users are.
I wanted my project to make a difference. So I focussed on helping raise awareness for endangered animals.
As the user gets closer to the sensor a more endangered animal appears on the projection along with the sound. This is an engaging way of educating users about endangered animals.
I crafted the graphics based on how many of that species are left in the world. Each dot represents one animal of that species, which is an excellent visual way of showing the information.
