Touch the Light

Touch the Light by ahsen_gulsen from turkey

designer's own words:

Touch the light aims to create an enjoyable interaction through a more tactile and meaningful interface to control the hue of light. Beyond just picking up a hue which is more machine-like but not human-like approach, it is intended to adjust this hue by controlling three channels -red, green, and blue- that determines the hue. In the end, it is aimed to enable users to control the hue by interacting with three collapsible fabric surfaces corresponding to these channels.

The intensity of a channel is adjusted according to the information coming from ultrasonic ranging modules placed under the corresponding surface. RGB Wall includes two operation modes, static & dynamic, that can be altered by pressing the switch placed at the center. While in the dynamic mode the light goes off at rest position, in the static mode controller gives the adjusted value to the light steadily.
