FANtastic
Introduction
Nowadays, fan culture has become a popular topic. With the development of technology, both fans and idols want to have a closer interactions with each other to strengthen their bonds, especially the real time interactions during performances, such as concerts.
FANtastic is a product design to provide a close interaction between fans and idols during concerts. I design an application for fans that they can log in and find a fan club that shares the same idols. Each fan club can customize their own pattern for their idol. They can choose their own color of LED and shape of pattern. During the concert, the same fan club members will sit together and wave their cellphone together, they can change their pattern on their idols’ garment. The more people in one fan club wave together, the brighter LED on their pattern.
Brainstorming
Design Process
Techniques
I used Processing to make an Android application that can connect Arduino through bluetooth module. I applied gyroscope to track waving rhythms. Data tracked by gyroscope in cellphone will send datas to Arduino to control LEDs.
Aesthetics
I laser cut a heart shape and created a sample pattern for this product.
