A collaborative project between Jaume Miro (www.jaumemiro.com) and I, recently presented at TEI 2014, Munich. The project looks to embed meaning within objects by capturing the data from the physical environment and using it to control the parameters of objects that can later be printed and given as gifts.

Here is the abstract from the TEI program:

"Acts of Giving has been an investigation into the act of giving, its symbolism in objects and its importance in society. Through a series of workshops and the subsequent distribution of cultural probes, we found that the most meaningful gifts are often those to which important or meaningful memories are attached. A gift from a someone close or a memento from a specific time or place, though insignificant in material value, is transformed into a treasured object. With this insight, and in the context of ubiquitous computing and and Internet of Things, we have designed an interactive, ceramic, data-gatherer which records the environment of specific events through the collection of temperature, humidity, colour and sound data. Sitting in the background or as a centrepiece at a family meal, the gatherer collects data from the physical environment, creating an informational snapshot of that space and time. Using Rhino and Grasshopper, we translate this data into a printable three-dimensional form, transforming a meaningless artefact into an evocative character, a physical representation of a moment in time."

Think Inside the Box

And we're done! The feedback received after the presentation was great, and extremely encouraging. CS320 may be over, but the MagicBox team will be back in mid-January to work on the rest of the prototypes for the TEI conference in February.

MagicBox was a collaborative effort that was possible due to the amazing people involved in it. It is hard to say who did what, as all three of us were very involved in every aspect of the project. It wasn't until we started box 2 that we divided the work. I ended up focusing on box 1, as we had to revisit the design to include the speakers and photocell sensor.

All documentation is in the MagicBox website, so please feel free to check it out.
