New Channel

This was a project I took up during my school term for iLight Marina Bay 2017. I worked with 2 profs as part of the research team within a span of few months to set up a light installation in Marina Bay. I was mostly in-charge of the electronics and designing the box that contains all the electronics, making sure that everything can fit in as small a space as possible. Furthermore, i helped out with the making of the prototypes. This light installation was a luminous tetrahedral mesh that spans 10 meters. It represents how the brain works such as how neurons talk to each other and how ideas are created. It is made possible by the latest 3D printed innovation with 715 polycarbonate square tubes, responsible for the balance and diffusion of the light sources. It is also an exploration of how full-scale 3D-printed parts can "adress not only structural requirements but also power transmission, and information communication within a seamless and continuous aesthetic." Within includes over 50,000 distince LED pixels and their parent algorithm, made possible through 5 Teensy microcontrollers. 3 ultrasonic sensors were also used at the base to increase the illumination of the structure when more people are within the vicinity, making it more interactive. Below is a video and a few links regarding the installation.
