Today I built the soft/pressure sensors for my project. I’ll be putting five sensors on the back of the bowl. These sensors will control the behavior of the animation projected on the water. This is the first time I’m using Velostat for soft switches. The velostat helps to measure pressure, giving an array of numbers that can be used later for different results.

The sensor: two layers of felt, two layers of conductive fabric and a layer of velostat
