Week 5
For the drawer projection project, me and Zeshu are thinking of creating a projection of a theater inside the drawer. We got this vintage-looking nightstand and planning to do projection from the outside to the inside of it. I imagine the project to be interactive as the audience pulls out the drawers.
Inspired by the toy theater in Benjamin Pollock’s toy shop, we are planning to map the outside of the drawer into the outside of a theater, the first drawer to be the interior of a theater, and the second drawer to be the backstage of a theater.
Incorporate with a sensor and Arduino, ideally, we can match the opening process in a theater with the opening of the drawer.
Continued from last week, considered that the drawers have a 90 degree angled wall on four sides which can make the projection become really difficult. We decide to build an additional layer inside the drawer that softens this angle for a better projection effect.
For the projection, we are thinking of using the pico projector. I tested both the pico projector and the short throw projector, but I feel the pico projector is enough for projecting the drawer. The projector could be hang on the ceiling or put on a tripod.
