Prototype Successes We successfully made inflatable tubes that can be actuated by pulling on strings to create a coiled effect. We mounted PVC pipes to a large fan…

For proof of concept, we explored two different motion systems that could exist within the spine structure. The first and more-integrated piece features a sectioned pouch that is…

The project aims to build up multiple masses that engulf the tuba player as they are playing the instruments. We adapted braiding techniques to make volume. Changing the…

We decided to make a vest where the cape connects so that the wearer will not have to tie the cape to his neck. We also made progress…

We were able to test and design a few works-like prototypes in order to get the mechanisms for our final project figured out. In class, we were taught…

Concept: We want to have an underwater theme that focuses on creatures that are considered “scary” and “ugly” at the bottom of the sea but portraying them to…

For this first prototype, we were interested in exploring the simple actuation of progressive inflation, or daisy-chain effect. We were also interested in exploring to expressively unfurl a…

Idea recap: We want a tuba player to wear a cape with lots of eyes on it. Some of the eyes are sewn on and others will be…

As a group, we wanted to develop an angelic alien like spine inflatable. Compared to our previous ideations, we want to focus the inflatable to be on the…
