Accurate gyroscope readings from a sensor mounted to the poi control light patterns simulating fire. Besides the electronic parts, It’s made of unconventional, recycled and/or affordable materials. WiFi network sends mechanic data from within one of the poi to any computer that logs into it. Spacetime poi has proven itself as entertaining in multiple environments. Nonetheless, the current version…

December 9, 2018 Alizarin Zroob

Spacetime Poi is a final project at physical computing course with Tom Igoe at ITP. Following the final project proposition, a 2nd post describing the work process, defining concept, figuring out electronic components and crafting a unique case. Inspired by Fire Prior to actually making the spacetime Poi, I’ve had the chance to user-test with a regular set of poi – a pair of balls on strings, which led to some helpful insights. One of the testers who’ve seen poi before in their natural habitat, asked “are you going to light them on fire?!” “If everything goes according to plan,…
