Eureka! is an interactive installation made for Media Mediterranea in Pula (Croatia) in August 2009. How many times do we get an insight during a peaceful and calm moment like the toilet one is? Eureka! enhances this brief time in a funny way.
In a week my team (made with Claudia De Angelis and Nicola Plaisant) has built these awesome WCs with the help of an Arduino, a pressure sensor, a pc and a projector.
Everyone sat dow on our iWC sent an input (like a button) to the Arduino, triggering an animation (made in flash particular shapes) and a sound (different kind of trumpet). Each animation was projected on the wall in front of users.
Each WC had a different animation. The mood was very playful and allowed people interacting each other just sitting on the three WCs. Was a great success with children.
