Prototyping Presentation for Heston Blumenthal & British Astronaut
Tim Peake for upcoming NASA trip
Second Prototype of Remote Controlled Video Chatting Device
This is the second prototype I created for the presentation with Heston Blumenthaal. Using a remote controlled car I found at a bookstore (randomly)–the car was a suggestion by a team member. A tupperware that was wrapped in black paper, a fake plastic candlestick with the lightbulb removed, and cardboard cut out for an image of his face.
This was to demonstrate how we could make a remote controlled Skype video chat between Tim Peak and his wife. He would in theory, be able to control it from space. And they can have a nice dinner while he’s just rolling around the table.
Thought it would make for great tv and add a additional layer of presence to his presence for their date. Also,just a fun way for them to interact with each other.
