Emoting Flowers - Communicating with Interactive Flowers

Collaborators: Filippa Ciuk Olsson, Vira Oetterli and Joline Frisk

Project grade: A

An interactive human-to-human installation with two interactive mechanical flowers. We utilized Arduino Uno, Processing, sensors, and actuators to create two communicating mechanical flowers capable of movement and message exchange. And we enabled user interaction through props, proximity, and touch. Applied C++ for Arduino programming and a Java-based language for Processing. The mechanical aspect was extensively iterated with multiple physical lo-fi prototypes.
