A small scale test of dichroic acrylic and a mirror, the main component of the experience.

The effect was successful, I used a projector with a very short throw, the aurora should be more present with a higher lumen projector.
built out the framework in Touch Designer, for this experience there will be audio input that affects the motion and reflecting on to the acrylic and mirror.
Ordered some mirrored acrylic that came today.. more on this later.

Here is a planning pyramid, listing some top level and MVP qualities.
A generally successful proof of concept, the projector isn’t very bright but I was getting semi-ok reflections, I think conceptually, it work well with a large projector.
On to acrylic laser cutting… more updates soon…
I’m going to cut different sizes to see which one fits the acrylic seamlessly. The dimensions of the dichroic acrylic squares are 1.18 x 1.18 x 0.08 Inches
Going to be using a pen plotter to draw this design, or a further iteration to be exact. I’ve just built this out but will add more to it.
