Can't show it yet...stay tuned...
I'm really vague on this now, but I have a seed of an idea in my heart. I want to buy old radios, clocks, toasters...anything with interesting user interface items. I want to take all of those knobs, sliders, controls, and displays and turn them into functional devices with a completely new twist on the human-machine interaction.
For example, a clock that uses a slider to indicate the hour and a selector knob to indicate the minutes. If I can get the whole thing to work with gears, that would be interesting. Otherwise I will program a one-chip computer to control stepper motors.
I've been browsing antique shops trying to find interesting components that will drive my imagination.
The idea is forming...becoming clearer...
