Budget inFORM, a dynamic shape display

Abstract

The project consists in the design, assembly and programming of a budget inFORM, a Dynamic Shape Display of MIT. Each of the pixels of the display will be driven by a micro servo motor. These motors will be controlled by a PWM controller and the signals will be send through an Arduino Nano board. The approach will be modular, the minimum size will be a 2x2 module and each of them can be stacked up and scale up. All the components can either be printed with a 3d Printer or purchased cheaply. With this device the user will be able to control the pixels and create patterns to interact with the physical world.
