Twinkle with light sensor

Interactivity idea : Twinkle

Original idea before coding :


Grasshopper output:

Self reflection:

  The script of twinkle ( flashing squares ) is done by Prevash and Felix, what I added on is the VS script, in other words, an if statement in the script which estimates the light level of photo resistor,it works like it determines if light level is less than A, lights off, if it's greater than A, it flashes, also it will be controlled by plugged-in arduino board.

Shooting star with light sensor

Interactivity idea : Shooting star

Original idea before coding :



If people move closer to the structure, standing in the range of light sensor, it activates the grasshopper script of shooting star , and when they leave the range, system turns off.

Self reflection:

  Originally I was developing on the code which was written by Felix, but as what Steve said to me after checking this one, our code worked but it is not transforming smoothly like a natural shooting star. Therefor with the help of Steve, I created this script with color flashing cube as star and Rhino curves as paths.
