DESIGN OVERVIEW

Signal Tug of War is an interactive system designed to explore the concept of data-driven communication between two users, represented here as "Eileen" and "Aurora." The project emphasizes real-time data exchange, feedback loops, and tangible interactions through sensory input and output mechanisms. This system not only highlights the responsive connection between user inputs but also serves as a metaphorical "tug of war" where data, feedback, and physical changes influence interactions in meaningful ways.

COMPONENT LIST

1. sliding potentiometer
2. Distacne sensor
3. LED light
4. RGB sensor
5. Servo motor

MINDMAP

1. Aurora slides the potentiometer → Generates input data (Feed 1) → Motor starts or reverses based on input.
2. Aurora’s distance detector measures proximity → Sends distance data (Feed 2) to Eileen.
3. Eileen’s system evaluates distance data → If condition is met (e.g., X < Y), LED lights up.
4. Eileen’s RGB sensor detects LED illumination → Measures and sends "lux" data back to Aurora.
5. Aurora’s system receives "lux" data → Motor reverses direction, restarting the communication loop.

CODE & IO FEED

CLOSE SHOTS FOR IMPORTANT INTERACTIONS

The first part: The sliding potentiometer controls the motor's rotation based on its positio

The second part: The motor drives a mechanical device that moves a ring through a connected system.

The third part: The LED lights up, and its light is detected by a light sensor as feedback.
