The new idea for a final project are interactive pillows. Essentially, it are two pillows that use wireless internet connection to communicate real-time movement between the two pillows.
Render and exploded view of idea.
Section and plan of a pillow.
Detail of how I imagine the pressure sensors and pistons to work. They should communicate movement realtime between the two pillows.
COSTS & MATERIALS
Plywood 5
Padding 10
Wire 5
Fabric 10
Electromotors 30
Pistons 30
Control Board 10
Sensors 20
ESTIMATE $ 120
I think the determining cost will be the pressure sensors and pistons. I hope to make the two pillows for about 100 dollars each, but expect to go to about 300.
TIMELINE
After some critical feedback on the feasibility on monday I hope to gear my week assignments towards the project. The pistons could be molded or casted
The final assignment will be interactive pillows that communicate temperature and touch across continents.
