Crowd Sensing

The project proposes a dialog between a group of people and the machine, understanding the group as an organism, as a single intelligence.

The interface selected to stablish this dialog was a visual projection that reacted to the input fed by video recognition. The first approach to the installation was to set the two main elements (projector and camera) in the same place above the crowd to achieve the desired perspective for the input and the output. for this purpose the team developed an artifact that could act as a holder for this two components.

The artifact had to be quick to assemble using the available materials and machinery and hold enough weight in the simplest possible way since it was gonna suspend a heavy object above people's heads.

The holder is built with 15 mm thick plywood. The cutting file provided in this project is developed with the respective tolerance.
