For this assignment I have to think , in relation with the system that I purpose in the previous assignment, how each module is connected to the other and also how the system work in each module. Since inside each module, there is a kind of labyrinth of tubes, how can I create connectors that easily allow me to connect and disconnect individual tubes?
I thought about using connectors that are used in the normal tubing system. A T-joint where I can connect 3 tubes or a 4 joint where 4 tubes can be connect.
An ideia of what can be used to hold the tubes to the inflated module:
This pieces can be made of metal or plastic and they must be also connected to the tubes.
Another thing that I also have to think is the technology involve to send data from one module to the other module. I can use a cell phone inside the module to send the information to the other module or a wireless connection that send data from one module to a computer and then send it to another computer that, again, sends the data to the other module.
As a conclusion of this project, I think that the idea of using the ball as a module of a collaborative environment and having 2 or more modules connected will work better if we think that it will happen as a performance, prepared to happen once. And having just one ball, like the initial idea ( assignment one), as an object that can be installed in a park for some weeks.
