Sketch 2 Update

After presenting the idea to Jinsil and Greg we started to explore the options we have to move the body of water within the light to sllow shimmer lines to be created. We tested micro vibrators, cellphones, micro vibrator with fishing line attached, and servo motors. Out of the ones we tested the most desirable effect came out of the servo motors, however we didnt like the amount of noise that was created via them.

So for sketch 2 we decided to go with the servos to show how it would work, allowing us to demonstrate the effect of the lights in an installation.



The sensor of choice for sketch 2 was a GSR sensor, we made a simple one out of tin foil and a resistor and it worked out quite well, though a little weird at time as the values jump too fast and didnt give us a fade in fade out effect. Something we wish to address in sketch
