The “Interactive spleen” visualises a rare diesese of spleen, “gaucher’s disese” in real scale with photo realistic texture. In this disese spleen expands its size more than twice as usual. Combined with a tablet, this model visualises how the spleen may look like in desesed condition and how it will be medically treated. The model is equipped with a micro controller, sound module and Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) module. When a user interacts with the model, Bluetooth signal will sent to a tablet / computer, triggers film clips according to user’s interaction. This product was commisioned by a pharmaceutical firm and two pieces are produced.
I was responsible for all development and production of the model, except the software on tablet. The model is produced with 3DS colour 3D printer, then polished and clearcoated.
