Individual sketching

Sketching by Josefine


The building block tower will change color when a cube is placed on top of another. The color will be depend on the height of the tower. 




This is a scetch of an on/off button wich should exist on every cube. It can either be quite small and be placed in a corner of one of the cubes sides, or be large and occupy a whole side of a cube. It can be something to test on users to see what works the best. The button should be sunken in to the side to avoid pressing it while stacking blocks.

The building blocks will change color depending on how many layers built, the width of the construction does not affect the colors. The sketches shows three layers but this could go on for as many layers that are desired. Reasonably there will be as many colors as there are blocks in the set so that all of them in a single tower would still have a color.



The blocks would be build out of see through plastic so that a colored light would shine through. They would also have to run on batteries and use a slide on/off button so that the blocks would not be turned off when put on top of each other.

The building blocks has a transparent material around the edges in a non-edgy shape of the blocks to make them smoother. The inner square of the cubes are of a solid material to create the light go through the material around the edges instead of the middle. Some small thoughts on sensors around the inside of the cube to sense other cubes and aswell as a way to implement charging for the parents when the cubes go out of power.

The interactive building blocks has a simple feature that they can detect how many layers are formed by the connected blocks and change the color of themselves according to this information. For example, if the building blocks built one layer, all of them will be green. If one of them is moved to the second layer, all blocks will turn red. Children can explore different colors by building the blocks differently, which is the way that the blocks interact with children.


Each block has six facets of the same structure. The sensors on each facets can detect whether the block is connected to other ones, as well as receive other information from nearby blocks. Inside each block there will be a circuit including a microcontroller, a battery, a height sensor and LEDs in different colors. The microcontroller processes the data of height as well as the information from nearby blocks, according to which it will control the LEDs, thus showing different colors or special effects.
