Line Media
Non-invasive tangible display
Material interation
This projects explored non-invasive tangible display in the form of line. Inspired by colored water flow in silicone tubes, it’s realized that water flow is a possible approach to emit information and this projected experimented the possibilties.Why non-invasive display?
Some employed medias, such as vibrations and suddent luminous light from telephone, alert users invasively. In that case, users
might lose their attentions toward foreground activities.
Since Non-invasive medias already blend themselves in the environment, people would sense their subtle changes to obtain
information subconsciously and stay focus on the thing they are doing.
Concept
Linemedia allows objects to emit information programmably. EXAMPLE OBJECT: Green Cylinder
Linemedia allows objects to change the color of its surface. EXAMPLE OBJECT: Blue Square
Experiment
Application
Connect Linemedias to various objects would visualize these objects'
properties. For example, string Linemedia to a electronic device would
visualize its power reminds and string it to a mug could display its water
temperature.
Non- invasive display.
Heart beats monitoring
Visualize temperature
Visualize power
Development kit
This kit includes:
Bluetooth chip, Raspberry Pi or Arduino, highly
intergrated pwm pumps, silicone tubes, construction
structures, and accessories. Developer can employ this
kit to build their own Linemedia for their use.
