Using blender, a mock of the chosen design was rapidly prototyped verified before moving forward
Iteration
During this phase, eclipse was taking on different forms and features. It was a constant back-and-forth between sketching, modeling, physical prototyping and coding
Capacitive sensor testing
Eclipse features a very simple capacitive sensor powered by an Arduino which enables the multi-getsure functionality
Full assembly test
Eclipse version beta 2 being tested with a very simple Arduino code, responding to hand hover and touch via the capacitive sensor which is concealed under the plastic cover
About the project
Eclipse was inspired by the stars and functions likewise. It can be used a singular product, but really shines when connected to a multitude of other units. It was made to be responsive to multiple gestures and offers the ability to be hacked.
