Coral is a wooden, electronic, audio memory game for the visually impaired. Housed within a laser-engraved wooden enclosure, the electronics of this toy produce tonal sequences to be matched. A player's responses are identified by toy rotation in four directions. The highly textured exterior and the stylized marker provide tactile orientation cues. Game states are distinguished by families of distinctive auditory cues. This project includes sound design, interaction design, and architecture.

In this phase of the project, we aimed at creating a design system that allows you to shape a mesh through whole body interactions. By taking skeleton data from an Xbox Kinect, we were able transform body movements into mesh shaping movements in Rhino through Grasshopper. We focused on improving the user interaction with the system over our previous iteration by incorporating various suggestions we received from users

My aim with this grasshopper sketch was to prompt an artist to sketch a dreamcatcher-like drawing by following the paths of the randomly generated agents. In this sketch, agents weave and wrap together to replicated the motions of actual thread. These threads then join at a number of central points. The only limitation given to the artist was to not draw the outlined curve generating the agents, but simply the agents themselves. Video for Project: http://youtu.be/I0LdJH46i44
