OS1.1: Architectural Knob
OS 1.1 harnesses the built infrastructure to extend our sensory registers. We have collaboratively designed an operating system: a lighting network linked by air. As mechanical wooden inputs are touched and turned, lighting outputs change and fluctuate. Manipulation of the physical apparatus directs sensory phenomena along new pathways.
With the "architectural knob" added, any column could be a control switch.
How does it work?
CNC wood + Hose clamp + Steel balls + DIY RGB Optical encoder
Exploded View
Section view:
One L-shape vinyl archway is first clamped on the column. Then the piece is clamped to the archway.
OS1.2: Universal through-hole, disassemble, optical rotary encoder
