Computer-controlled X-Y Stage
Client: Washington State Historical Society
Special Skills: Precision meal and plastic fabrication, computer controls, software development and mechanical and structural engineering.
Purpose: The device scans over a 24 x 35-foot map with a video camera, zooming in on points of interest as a teaser to get visitors to learn more about the sites and the history of Washington State.
How it works: The device is pre-programmed to scan over the surface of the map and stop at one of 100 points. The video camera, controlled by a RS-485 connection, the zooms in on the tag containing text. After a delay, the camera zooms out and moves to the next position.
