bubble wrap interface

the idea was to create a tangible interface using bubble wrap - each bubble would initially contain an element of information, that can be deployed by bursting the bubble, such as the virtual fly trapped inside the bubble.

The hard part of the interface was determining the state of a single bubble, whether it has been burst or not. We approached this problem from two different directions: the first through mechanical pressure of the intact bubbles (below).

The second approach was to use a combination of audio detection (the sound of a bubble popping) and computer vision (location of the finger pressed against the glass, lower picture)
