====V. FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ==== | |||
1. Incorporate an Infrared sender and receiver instead of a Photocell in order to improve the reaction to “touch” | |||
2. At the moment, I’m experimenting with 3D printing and a possible electronic object with this technique. These are photos of this process so far | |||
