Tangible Lights encapsulates the idea of contact and interaction in the form of small, modular light objects. When one module is connected to the next, the Tangible Light will glow. The spectrum of the light is affected depending on how the Tangible lights are connected. Users are able to choose how the pieces stack together, creating pattern and texture that is flexible and changes depending on the user.
Tangible Lights to provides an opportunity for people (both young and young at heart!) to create 3D landscapes that have topography and flexibility. Tangible Lights act as “light-up modules” providing a learning opportunity for children, allowing them to better understand the idea of connection, linkage, color and structure based on human input. The lights serve not only as a hand held building blocks, but an adaptable night light, a portable light source, a flash light or ambient lighting. Tangible Lights will be made with cast plastic and we’re exploring the use of Bioplastics to promote green business practices rather than the traditional petroleum-based plastics more commonly used.
