XREF questions the objects and spatial relationships that link users to virtual environments.

Two kinetic objects: a cube that pushes and pulls in three axes, and a diamond-like object that twists and folds, were exhibited as interfaces to control a projected graphic. The logic of their movements were decoded into values through circuited flex sensors, then made to control their virtual counterparts through parametric modeling and computing. In a critique on the planar mouse, the intuitive nature of the exploration of space is made more connected to a virtual space. In one week, our team rapidly built a complex series of physical and digital systems that could sense and respond to human interaction.

Constructed with Ardurino + Firefly + Grasshopper in Rhino3D.
