Light: Hopping
December 2023


Interactive Experience


Arduino
Leap Motion

This interactive experience delves into the intricate relationship between everyday objects — specifically light — and human. 

By altering the manner in which we engage with light, we are prompted to question: How does changing our approach to interaction transform our connection with it?



Technical Implementation:

This project contains 3 parts: 
1. LeapMotion sensor that collects gesture data.
2. A web app that converts LeapMotion raw data into LED lighting instructions.
3. Arduino that controls the LED light.
4. Acrylic board fabrication. I made all the parts fastened so it’s easy to change the design and reconstruct.
