Fabrication & Production; Development

To produce something which is technically viable; much research has gone into the fabrication methods of producing a book which allows user interaction and sound as a medium. Pictured is an element I ordered for a first test, using thermochromic ink, and flexible printed heater pads to sit in between pages - which would use a sound inverter to activate various temperatures. Whereas the heat allowed for the thermochromic ink to activate and change colour, the time that it took to cool back down (i.e. deactivate) was not immediate - and with sound as an immediate medium, the book would present a 'lagging' aesthetic.
