Final





These are my final five images of my interactive object. Overall it works well but there are no real limitations around the board so some people may move the pieces in the wrong direction or not as planned. The foam board worked well for my base as it was easy to use but I didn't take into account that you needed to hold the board while you were interacting otherwise it moved all over the table.
Above is my Description that will be used in the exhibition along with my object. It outlines What my purpose is and my instructions on how to use my object.

Development




These are some photos of some development I did. I tried a variety of different tiles and pieces as seen in the left images. I tried make the slope on some of them very steep and others very shallow. I looked at making the slope come from a corner and overall I was happy with the pieces I made. For the base I tried to make it out of clay but when I put it in the oven I found that it bent way to much and was arched. When I went to bend it straight I ended up breaking it , so I decided to use foam board as it was smooth and I could cut into it easily.
