What is Wall Sense?
Wall Sense is a project that I have been think about since Spring 2010. I am seeking to make wallpaper / wall stickers / posters / anything that can be put up on a wall to be more interactive. Using a system of sensors and actuators, I want these things to encourage participation from their users.
Why Wallpaper?
Wallpaper/posters/wall stickers are everywhere. Therefore, they should be…
…Interactive
encourage an action from the user
perform some reaction engaging the human senses
…Entertaining
sound: play music
sight: shine light
scent: emit smells
touch: feel interesting
…Functional
burglar alarm
baby monitor
