e^ºFLOW

e^ºFLOW is an interactive sculpture exploring the unique capabilities of E Ink Prism™, a color-changing film developed by E Ink. The sculpture comes alive with visual behavior triggered by real-time sensor input; it detects the presence and movements of people and reacts like an elusive deep-sea creature.

iPad App

The sculpture was controlled through real time infrared depth camera input as well with an iPad App written in C++ in Unity.

Animations

The animations were inspired by code and how  cephalopods communicate using their chromatophors, which is similar to how e-ink animates.
