Software, hardware, art – a blog of process and findings
Renderings of a lasercut bead counter. The ratchet-like cog rotates, collecting a single bead from the tube above. The bead moves to the side and drops through a hole. As the cog rotates, its prongs close a small switch, allowing for automated counting via an Arduino.
Lots more process images: all 400+ resulting models.
Another glitched-out model, created from 100 random photographs.
Video (yes, video: recorded with two cameras and converted to the image we see here) of a virus attempting to enter a cell. A complex problem, likened in the article to trying to film something the size and speed of a hummingbird flying around in a space as large as a backyard.
