Final Project
ArchiBlox
The concept for ArchiBlox is a high quality, beautifully crafted table top modular building block toy that resembles the classic designs of Froebel blocks. Hidden in the blocks and in the tiled board are a series of sensors and processors that wirelessly transmit the design of the tile, the rotational orientation of the tile, and the placement in the board grid to a virtual interface. As a child makes a space using the blocks, a 2D floorplan is populated in the software where they can drag and drop different components to design an interior space. For future development and versions, we would also have the software generate a 3D model of the space as a digital twin, with various 3D components and more capabilites for customizing the digital version with materials and finishes. For the final future version, AR can be utilized to overlay the digital customizations over the physical objects. For the proof of conecpt to be built during FabAcademy, I will focus on building the physical componenets, electonic systems, and basic user interface that virtually represents a 2D floorplan of the physical blocks.
