Cam De-Construction
I took apart the webcam by removing all of the screws and taking apart all of the pieces that would come off freely. Next I had to use a plier to forcefully break off the rest of the plastic case of the cam until I only had the microchip and cam remaining. After this I used a solder to remove the 6 LED lights from the microchip.
Microscope Construction / Cardboard Model
I wanted to create a microscope that could be used similarly to a mouse during a live performance. My first model in cardboard was the most basic sketch of this concept using one screw in the middle to move the camera up and down.
3D Model
Using SketchUp I re-created my cardboard model in 3D. Along the way I made a couple of minor changes as I discovered design flaws in my original concept.
