    Pixel Skin02 is a modular surface made up of robotic pixel-tiles that can simulate low-resolution images and patterns. Each tile consists of four triangular panels with shape memory alloy wires that control the opening of the panels. A microcontroller controls the opening of each tile 20 times per second to create 255 states of opening. This allows each set of four panels to act as a pixel. The surface has potential to control openings by sensors and create diverse, dynamic images on building skins and public spaces.

    RESPONSIVE SPACES: Pixel Skin02


    Credit : ORANGEVOID Type : Kinetic Description : Sequel to PixelSkin01, PixelSkin02 is developed as a modular surface made up of robotic pixel-tiles as its generic unit. Unlike electro-optic media in PixelSkin01, this surface concept features Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated triangular panels. Each tile consist of 4 such triangular panels with integrated SMA wire. Surface embedded micro-controller controls the opening of each pixel-tile by adjusting powersupply 20 times per second. Depending on the supplied opening-coefficient, each set of four panels acts as a pixel (255 states between fully open and fully closed). Technique called multiplexing allows to individually control the opening of each pixeltile; generating this way, a surface-wide mechanism capable of simulating low-resolution images, patterns or animations. Analysis : This modular surface have lots of potential for creating new environment of the building. By a sensor, the openings of skin can be controlled by light, movement, sound, and etc. In addition, modules can create some images. This possibilities can be applied any public space and building skin, which creates divers images and impressions of the space.
