My idea for the final project is to construct an interactive installation of a cloud that produces sound of thunder and creates a lighting effect of lightning. I intend to add bluetooth to this project, so that it is also remote controlled. The lighting would range from a blue-ish white to a yellow lighting, and it would flash the way lightning would.
I would create the cloud using cotton balls, paste, and LEDs, Bluetooth and other materials. For the LEDs, I will use a series of Flora RGB Smart NeoPixels.
Three questions:
-
Which lights would be best to use for the cloud?
-
How/what would you use to construct a strong body for the cloud so that you could hang it from the ceiling?
-
What would be the most effective parts of this project? What works and what doesn’t work?
