Worked in partnership with Cosm.
The prototype below is a playful exploration on the ergonomics of a hand and its relationship to a digital display. In conjunction with Cosm’s innovative display technology at their newly established venues, this prototype was developed as an interactive device for large-scale audience.

Gimbal Controller
Materials: 3D printed parts, potentiometers, arduino, large button
Gimbal Controller is a real world application of how necessarily tactility is to human interaction. The interactive device is designed to be intuitive yet exporable, with the mindset that the audience will only have a few moments to learn how to use the device. The simple controls move the audience in a x,y and even z pattern on the screen by rotating the inner and outer disks. The spherical nature of the device is meant to mimic the latitude and longitude of the curved digital display.
