Pluto - Interactive Community Engagement Prototype

Pluto is a prototype for a series of interactive exhibits made to liven up the city of Brisbane. Users interacted with Pluto by means of touch. If the interaction was friendly Pluto would respond by singing, dancing and flashing coloured lights. However, if he did not enjoy the interaction he would cry and thrash about.

 

Pluto was brought to life using servo motors, LED lights and an Arduino computer board. This project was completed in a team with Georgina Brown, Anthony Hearsey, and Genesis Haarlem.
