💡 Intention

We plan to try a new framework for paired device, mimicking the motion of two objects under physical laws to make the events on the other end more evident. Everyone has an intuitive understanding of gravity: for example, when using a scale, we can easily understand why one side sinks and the other rises; or when pulling a blinds cord, the cord descends while the blinds rise. These movements indicate that a force is at work within the physical mechanical system, which we can use to reflect the presence of the other device in our paired device system.

We started from learning historical cases about remote gestures/motions, from SHAKER which translates the movement on both side in to shakes, to more paired devices in YO-YO MACHINE project gallery. Then, we moved on to make our own paired device, putting our ideas into practice.
