Translating the tension of negotiation into dynamic physical form through origami kinematics.
Designed in Rhino based on origami geometric principles, this interactive table features a kinematic foldable form. Engineered with Arduino Mega and Servo Motors, the surface dynamically deforms to physically disrupt desktop items. A multi-modal sensing system (ultrasonic, load cell, NFC) quantifies power imbalance during negotiations, turning abstract tension into tangible movement.
