Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Juggling with Light”.
My name is roger uh, i’m from oslo, norway. These are smart juggling balls, so they detect what i do with them and they color up accordingly. So if i throw one ball up in the air, it’s only it’s red and it’s only red all the time. If i, if i do it for two, they turn yellow uh, so there’s a pattern: detection mechanism built into them.
If i stop uh, it should turn ready and right, and if i do a pattern uh, it actually detects the pattern. So if i do a pattern called three one in a juggling terminology, it detects that and colors the threes, green and the ones red. Now, if i juggle three one two, which is this, the twos are yellow. So there are this one on this one and this one and this one turns yellow it’s really fun, because we can talk about science, we can talk about math and we can talk about all kinds of interesting things just by talking about an object. So i can go up to someone and say: hey look at this and then we can have a conversation, because how does it? How does it do that? What really happens and how do they know about each other stuff, like that, i just won the picture prototype and ah it’s great. These balls are arduino programmable, so you can actually hook it up to your computer and just pop up arduino and then tell the boss. How how to react and what to do so? Let’S say i want one ball to um, to tell the other ball that uh, you know i’ve been thrown twice or i’m actually in the hand nothing is happening. Then i can program it to use the radio and tell the other one, and the other cool thing is that these balls are decentralized. So there’s no central communication station, there’s no ipad or computer or anything the balls communicate with each other and exchange information.
So and then the challenge is: what can you do with that? I mean: where are the limits? Where can you how far can you push that .
