Project Description
The Pace is an interactive poetry and video installation.

The "Personal Sphere" utilizes an ultrasonic proximity sensor in order to visualize an individual's own personal space. Even though the size of this space varies from culture to culture and from individual to individual, the concept of personal space is universal.

Our project is a prototypical device that enables the individual to easily engage and advertise multiple magnitudes of his/her own personal space to any individual who penetrates it. Using a potentiometer, the individual is enabled to define the desired size of their own personal space and through the use of a simple LED display, that individual can visually project the borders of this space. Through the LED signifier, different luminous patterns convey a violation of that sphere.
