Written in Processing… demonstartes the basic interaction using the keyboard as a trigger and a black-line as the output. Next step, after refinement, is to make an ultrasound sensor the trigger and a servo motor the output.

Project Brief
The development of buildings in the city creates new spaces on the inside often at the expense of public space at the street level. Our intent is to address these areas, that lie in the shadow created by these buildings, by making the space more inviting and interesting for pedestrians, and to encourage new interactions and use of the shade.
-
Challenges
1. Optimal angles for reflection
2. Enrich the experience of being in the shade
3. Add interactivity
-Sensors analysing motion of people
-Motion feedback of reflection corresponding to sensor data
4. All-in-one
-Reflection system
-Motion sensors
5. Safety of both form and installation

Location
We are looking to install this at the school above the front entrance. This is the ideal place to present our project because as not only is this area in shadow for the majority of the day, but it is also a place of familiarity in order to accurately judge it’s overall impact.

We’ve observed the street area in front of Designskolen to be in shadow for the majority of the day as shown in the photos below:

We explored using mirrors and lenses to cast and reflect different types of light.
Also, we did some preliminary testing with mirrors at our target location. Using a rooftop reflector and a small mirror to direct the reflected light down into the shadow area of the street below.
/AB
we decided to create some kind of inverted overhead projector – we call it the under(xxxx)head projector.
A mirror on the rooftop reflects the light onto a second reflective surface that will create some kind of pattern by vibrating. There will also be another more controllable pattern inserted into the beam. A lens at the end will spread the light out onto a bigger surface. 4 sensors that border the area under the light will count how many people are in that area. This will make the controllable pattern react.

The potential for moving sunlight to where it’s needed by, more or less, passive means.
