How it works?

The interactive element is made possible with the use of a Pixy camera vision sensor that tracks the user’s hand motion and sends data to Arduino. Based on the width and height of the object it tracks, the Arduino then controls both the stepper motors in the X and Y axis. This XY Plotter carries magnets that move around hence creating the artisic movement of the ferrofluid.

 

The three main processes are:

• Building

• Coding

• Testing
