After settling on the form, we were able to quickly create an architectural model using Rhino and the laser cutter. The next step was creating the technological prototypes: namely the projections for the swimming pool and the projections for the "data sea." 

For the swimming pool projections, we decided to use PIR sensors to detect our hand moving a swimmer through the pool. Once triggered, the PIR sensors would change the projections as the swimmer moved across the pool; the projection would start off depicting a "pure sea" from thousands of years ago. While the swimmer moves across the pool, the new videos would get triggered that would show more and more trash in the ocean environment. The challenging parts in this process included figuring out how to project with water, which we ended up solving by using back projection, and getting the PIR sensor configured correctly with the water and acrylic which just took some experimentation.The whole system was connected to and powered via the Arduino, and the code was a combination of Arduino and Processing.
