Solution – Project Shale• Extend the LaserBall project with reactive

physical components See saw, Bumper, Sound Emitter

• Wireless communication with components Xbee (Zigbee 802.15.4 mesh networking)

Paul Gerhardt Project Shale 8

Project Shale: An Example

Steps:

1. Virtual Object (the ball) moves towards the Physical Object (the see saw)

2. Virtual Object and Physical Object collide

3. A) Virtual Object (ball) ricochets off in a different direction B) Physical Object (see saw) turns in reaction to the collision

Solution – Project Shale• Recognize Physical Objects

– LED fiducial markers
