Sleep Terrain
By Katie McHugh & Design Futures Lab
This “smart bed” takes an integrated approach to exploring a number of potential connections between human experiences and technological advances within one’s sleeping environment. The project synthesizes novel fabrication and material processes in addition to a highly customizable user centered algorithm that works within a specialized reactive sensor network. This project involved custom engineering of robotic actuators, custom modeled and printed 3d components and material innovations. The overall synthesis of material, technical and formal concerns results in a highly sophisticated working prototype of a new terrain for sleep.
