Some images from making of the Luminex project.
Inside of the blowing interface .
Input from the heat sensor is processed in microcontroler (ATTINY26) and PWM is produced to control the LED light.
This is how the magic blowing interface looks like at the end.
Luminex’s unique property of emitting its own light lets it stand out from our everyday life cloth. Its self-portrayal “glowing” quality turns itself into a magical artifact.
Our challenge is to find the right performance for this glamorous cloth. Presenting Luminex as “the magic blowing cloth“ to emphasize its quality of glamorous glow. Amount of light emitted by Luminex changes as an audience blows onto the blow sensor.
A mythic story around this cloth is told in a short animation at the beginning of the presentation to spice up this fictional artifact.
“Luminex, “the magic blowing cloth
will shines and glows in a dark with a magic spell of a blow. “
Equipment request: Projector to show the animation at the beginning and the room has to remain dark since Luminex is not very bright.
