I gave my presentation (45 minutes) last Monday. A slightly larger version of the presentation is here. Final prototype, poster, and report are next.
I added an old TV to the setup to visualize notes.
Here’s where I am. A better walkthrough will come next.
Frankenstein
I was afraid the frosted faceplate was an irreparable choice and would leave a veneer of pretentiousness impossible to wipe off. I’m starting to come around. I think I’ll find a way to make this controller as ugly and abrasive as it deserves to be.
Hurray Interaction Design!
Faceplate ready
Two layers of acrylic (the top one 2mm and sandblasted, the bottom one 4mm clear) and some knobs. This was my first run on the laser cutter at school and things didn’t go too bad.
The knobs are kind of glossy, and the clear acrylic look is not what I want for the finished piece. I think the final box should be black/dark or have a stronger less polished character.
Time to clean this up
I’ve reach the limit with this pile of wires, knobs and switches. It’s time to put it all inside of a container. The good news is it all works.
