Final project porposal.
What will it do?
interactive light...ILLUMINATION // LAMP (smart lamp) light which geometrical form is informed by the environmental data using smart citizen kit which lighting intensity is reacting e.g. to the distance, motion, color change according to the ambient light and distance? sound???///get smart citizen kit>create a customized geometry in SW>3d print body>manufacture electronics>>>>one lamp body to the field of lamp light bodies....light choreography...
Who's done what beforehand?
inlcude links (source - my notes)
+ This project is a very good example and also an inspiration source: Moon Melon Control
What will you design?
-smart system -body of the lamp object -pcb board - electronics -application interface -packaging box
What materials and components will be used?
-LEDs UV light in combination with RGB LEDs? color change, reaction to ambient light.... - smart citizen kit - own board and its components including sensors and ouput devices - 1.75mm PLA Filament Fluorescent Green for 3D Printers, Rohs Compliance,1kg Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm -wooden or paper box - package design
What questions need to be answered?
main question - how to make it happen? and there are many questions that I have come up while the process of creation of my final project: * How will I join the two parts to make it nice? * Will the light source will be efficient enough to light up the environment? * Will the wireless communication be fast enought to interact with the app and voice recofnition? * Will the conductive paint be working properly to be able to transmit the sensing? * How many LEDs I have to use in my lamp? * How will LEDs be attached to the base? * How will be the pocketing for electronics embeded within the base?
How will it be evaluated?
- own board and its components including sensors and ouput devices -body of the designed object will be 3D printed -application for color change visible on the smartphone?
What parts and systems will be made? What processes will be used?
1. Design - Shell of the lamp created by additive manufacturing - 3D printing, Base for the lamp created by subtractive manufacturing -CNC process, 2. Electronics - PCB board with input+output and programming them, 3. Application for controlling the light color.

So how I got to those geometries:
Video of the process of creating the shell for the lamp. This process was created in 3D SW Rhino and its plugin Grasshopper, video was done by animating slider what generates specific number of frames and than taking those to movie maker component embeded within the Processing environment.
Video of the process of creating the shell displays the geometry of basic circular shape - a torus - a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle. Torus turnes itself inside out. Its selfintersection explores a wide variations of possible geometrical forms that can be further developed as a shelter for hosting a light source.
#testing Video of the process of creating the shell with skinning. Baking of various stages can be a base for the library of different topologies.
Final project experimentation. Shell variations. Library of different topological stages.
