We decided to bring to life the idea of using a fog screen in a notification system. The idea can be broken up into the following components:
1. Fog vortex screen: Our idea is to create a screen by colliding two fog vortices.
2. Projection: We wish to project on the fog screen. We hope to be able to project the relevant logo of the notification.
3. Fog: We want to create an automated fog delivery system composed of a standard fog machine and an Arduino kit.
4. Gesture recognition: We aim to detect the vortex and open the tab of the notification (if applicable) if the user swipes the vortex before it dissipates.
5. Notifier app: To get the notification from the user’s phone to the computer, we built a very
basic application. We focus more on its functionality than the UI. The application reads the notifications received by the user and sends it through a server to the computer.
6. Python script: We will write a Python script running on the user`s computer to assemble the whole system. The image processing required would be run separately from this script. The script queries the server for incoming notifications and manages the system.
For the project, we required the following materials:
- Arduino Uno board
- Servo Motor
- 3ft Plastic Tube
- MDF Plywood
- Subwoofer Speakers
- Amplifier
- Pico Projector
- Smoke Machine with Remote
- Webcam
- Other materials/tools like glue, duct tape etc.
