Description

Pan and I like the idea of controlling nature, and we wanted to create an art display that was both beautifully serene and amusingly interactive. After several iterations of ideas, we decided to build a window display in which viewers can control snow depending on where they stand relative to the piece. Our project uses ultrasound sensors to detect proximity, which in turn activates blower fans to turn on. These blower fans will blow fake snow within the display to recreate a wintry scene.

Depending on our progress of our project, we may use a projector to augment the wintry scene.
