My little piece of Privacy
My little piece of Privacy by Niklas Roy:
My workshop is located in an old storefront with a big window facing towards the street. In an attempt to create more privacy inside, I’ve decided to install a small but smart curtain in that window. The curtain is smaller than the window, but an additional surveillance camera and an old laptop provide it with intelligence: The computer sees the pedestrians and locates them. With a motor attached, it positions the curtain exactly where the pedestrians are.
Includes source code, plans and schematics to build your own.
Niklas Roy is also the creator of WIA <> WIA, one of my favorite exhibition pieces at last year’s Ars Electronica festival.
