During the Fumi project, the task was to create an interactive material. My contribution to the project mostly laid with the concept for the functionality and the design of the top material layer and its mechanism.

purpose
In this elective we explored how to create an interactive material. Various materials, folding techniques and combinations of structures are tested in order to design a prototype which provokes curiosity and engages users. The aim was to integrate computational elements into materials and provide a captivating user experience. As a result Fumi was build. It incorporates an origami custom pattern,
mechanical actuators and a hand motion-detection sensor. User can interact by using different hand gestures as the pattern reacts to the input.
