The B.A.R.

The Bartender Assistant Robot (or B.A.R.) is an interactive bar prototype that uses light and motion to (1) improve communication between the bartender and bar patrons and (2) provide a novel and fun experience for bar patrons.

A few more specific functions the B.A.R. can take on are:

  1. Helping bartenders keep track of the queue
  2. Allow a bar patron in an unsafe situation a discreet way to notify the bartending staff
  3. Regulate bad behavior (impatient patrons) by allowing them to channel their annoyance into the B.A.R. and not the busy bartender

Charlotte

Charlotte was a prototype for an interactive toy. Motion sensors on a control box translate the player’s motions into the spider’s visual output. Charlotte was the beginning of an exploration into indirect, nonlinear, and physically engaging ways to create art-making interfaces.

For an in-depth look into the design process and hardware specs of Charlotte, download the write-up.

This prototype was created for the course Rapid Prototyping and Physical Computing at Cornell University in Fall 2018 with Annie Hughey and Elijah Weber-Han.
