The goal was to create an innovative, interactive information kiosk that would allow digital artists a means of exploring their work, while at the same time disseminating information about events centered around the arts at Harvard.<\/p>\n<p>The MIU consists of four optical panels, each of them with a projector attached which projects images onto a bundle of fiber optics. The image will later go through the fiber optics and be shown onto the outside panels. Unlike other projects, the MIU provides a different physical space because it has a skin, which creates interior and outer spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Credits<br \/>\nFaculty Advisor: Allen Sayegh<br \/>\nDesign Concept: Russ Gould, Jamie Hernandez, Bao Wei<br \/>\nInteractivity: Yen-Tine Cho<br \/>\nVentilation Study: Masayosh Oka<br \/>\nFabrication Team: Stephen Hickey, Jaime Hernandez,<br \/>\nJustin Lavallee, Rachel Froman,<br \/>\nAnthony Di Mari, Richard Juta,<br \/>\nSabeen Hassa, Michelle Miller, and others.<br \/>\nSpecial thanks to Professors Daniel L.
