The Sink You Control with a Metal Ball

Author: Brandon

The movement of the ball controls the flow and the temperature — moving away from the center increases flow and moving around the circles controls the temperature. LEDs under the ripple surface are lit with intensity and color according to the flow and water temperature to provide the user with additional visual feedback. Under the ripple surface there is an array of sensors and electromagnets that provide tactile feedback to the user as she moves the ball to discrete points on the surface.
