Pixel Skin02

Credit : ORANGEVOIDType : KineticDescription :

Sequel to PixelSkin01, PixelSkin02 is devel-oped as a modular surface made up of robotic pix-el-tiles as its generic unit. Unlike electro-optic media in PixelSkin01, this surface concept features Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated triangular panels. Each tile consist of 4 such triangular panels with integrated SMA wire. Surface embedded micro-controller con-trols the opening of each pixel-tile by adjusting power-supply 20 times per second.

Depending on the supplied opening-coefficient, each set of four panels acts as a pixel (255 states be-tween fully open and fully closed). Technique called multiplexing allows to individually control the opening of each pixeltile; generating this way, a surface-wide mechanism capable of simulating low-resolution im-ages, patterns or animations.

Analysis : This modular surface have lots of potential for

creating new environment of the building. By a sen-sor, the openings of skin can be controlled by light, movement, sound, and etc. In addition, modules can create some images. This possibilities can be applied any public space and building skin, which creates div-ers images and impressions of the space.
