Prayer wheels -An interactive project

This project is still undergoing construction and programming. Documentation video will be uploaded soon.

Prayer Wheels is an interactive sound and light installation inspired by Tibetan prayer rituals. The repetitive spinning of the wheels is considered to induce a meditative state. In Prayer Wheels, there are eight similar spinning pods for the visitors to interact with. Each of the created interactive wheel generates unique soundscape and light reactions derived from its spinning movements.The compounded interactions among all the wheels create an immersive light and soundscape.

Programme: Arduino, Max Msp, interactive sensors and LED and sound output.

Flash sensor is used to measure the path of the laser light, once the installation is manipulated, the it measures the data of the reflected distance.
