Design Work spatial planar 3D extruder
The spatial planar 3D extruder was a masters thesis project by Richard Whitney done with the Tangible Media Group (TMG) at the Media Lab. The purpose of the device was to provide a tangible interface for anything from database navigation to sculpture. I worked with Richard to build the optical encoders for the position tracking system of the extruder. I also rendered several 3D models of the device.
