Lets have a go at making the printed circuit board (PCB) shell duck. The back side of the PCB (see below) would make an antenna so it can work as a capacitive field. It has some small tabs that we can solder on some wires to create the antenna. The front side would present the aesthetic of the Shell Duck. The real magic here is how we combine the function with the aesthetic.
Thank you to everyone that worked on the DAPTEC Flat Holm project and to all the kids from Mount Stuart primary school, Cardiff that helped us test the exhibit.
We have reached the next phase of our project where people are starting to interact with the exhibit. Some really interesting feedback is filtering back to us.
We needed hundreds of LEDS to make our interactive map work… but it was well received once we got it working.
