Exploring new object-human interactions with a face-tracking lamp
This project is an exploration of how digital technology can be used to create new physical interactions and behaviors with everyday objects. Spot Lamp uses technology as a means to humanize and personify the object and its utility.
Powered by a Raspberry Pi and using the OpenCV library, Spot Lamp is a face tracking table lamp that pans left to right and tilts up and down, responding to a person’s face.
Spot Lamp was exhibited during Toronto Design Offsite, an annual city-wide design festival. Businesses in the city offer their street-facing windows for designers and artists to showcase their work. A goal of this project was to create an object that would engage and interact with people as they walked by.
