JOHN ROTHENBERG jroth@mit.edu ADAPTIVE SURFACE v2.0 //managing various levels of adaptation: response and internal memory //immediate response to user interaction, coupled with long-term changes //user interaction with the grid determines relative lighting intensity //panels reposition themselves to allow for changes in lighting quality //panels are linked to their neighbors and mobility depends on how often they move //movement of panels are limited to movements allowed by the physical system //system is also responsive to changes in lighting over the course of a day //clock (0 - 24 hours) can be seen below the iteractive grid //system is one possible implementation of the responsive surface: light machines //click on the grey box to interact with the system
