It’s a Crank Chair is an interactive installation that contains sensors on a chair and perceive the persons action who sits on it.

The concept is to create a new experience between the object and the person by giving personality to it. The chair is replaced with the person. The participant witnesses what the chair memorize. In the process an Ikea chair, MDF, distance and pressure sensors, projection, web-cam has been used.
Setup: 1x Custom-made chair, 1x Custom-made PCB(connects Arduino, sensors and batteries), 1x Arduino UNO R3, 1x PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor, 1x Flexiforce Pressure Sensor - 100lbs, Sharp IR Infrared Proximity Sensor - Sharp - 10-80cm - GP2Y0A21YK, F-F and M-M cables, 2 x 9V battery, 4x AAA battery, etc.
