    PixelSkin02 is a modular surface made of robotic pixel tiles, each consisting of four triangular panels that open and close via shape memory alloy actuators. A microcontroller embedded in the surface controls the opening of each pixel tile's panels 20 times per second by adjusting power, allowing 255 states of openness. Multiplexing individually controls each pixel tile, generating low-resolution images, patterns or animations across the entire responsive surface.

    PIXEL SKIN 02

    Project : Credit : Type : Description : PIXEL SKIN 02 ORANGEVOID KINETIC Sequel to PixelSkin01, PixelSkin02 is developed as a modular surface made up of robotic pixel-tiles as its generic unit. Unlike electro-optic media in PixelSkin01, this surface concept features Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated triangular panels. Each tile consist of 4 such triangular panels with integrated SMA wire. Surface embedded micro-controller controls the opening of each pixeltile by adjusting power-supply 20 times per second. Depending on the supplied opening-coefficient, each set of four panels acts as a pixel (255 states between fully open and fully closed). Technique called multiplexing allows to individually control the opening of each pixeltile; generating this way, a surface-wide mechanism capable of simulating low-resolution images, patterns or animations.
