IR Frame Integration

The IR Frame is an essential component of this project.


While it has a solid aluminum frame adding durability, due to it's 3mx2m size it is not very sturdy.

Because of this it is not free standing.


The frame has adhesive on the back which is intended to affix the frame to a screen. However, we need to move this system from the basement to the symposium, and since we will be returning this frame to Activate we won't be using this feature to make the system easier to disassemble.


The diffusion fabric is already a few inches from the wall to allow for the light to disperse.


To ensure that the fabric doesn't interfere with the IR frame the frame is positioned about 1-2 inches ahead of the diffusion fabric. This also gives it more time to detect the balls.



The IR frame is held in place with clamps and is set an appropriate distance from the diffusion fabric with wooden spacers.


Below is a video of a demo where the user is able to toggle squares by tapping them.
