A Moment of Love

Faire: Coney Island

Maker: Parsons Design+Technology

How can love at first sight be emulated through an immersive sensory experience? This installation invites visitors into a soft, otherworldly encounter where shifting light, layered sounds, and delicate lenses blur distance and perception. Poetic visuals drift with responsive sensors, transforming fleeting emotions into an intimate moment. ‘A Moment of Love’ translates an emotionally complex notion into an experiential and interactive medium, using a combination of material poetry, physical properties of light and optics, layered sounds, and hypnotic visuals. It isolates the viewers from their surroundings, mirroring the figure-group relationship identified in romantic films as the first spark of love.

OTC – Orbital ToolChanger: Multi-Material 3D Tiskárna

Faire: Prague

Maker: Adam Voleš

Home: Czech Republic

OTC – Orbital ToolChanger je 3D tiskárna s otočnou hlavou, která umožňuje používat až čtyři trysky pro různé materiály bez nutnosti výměny nástroje. Díky čtyřem nezávislým hotendům není potřeba trysky mezi výměnami čistit, což výrazně snižuje odpad filamentu a zrychluje samotný tisk. Na Maker Faire představím early prototype, ukážu mechanismus výměny trysky a konstrukční principy. Návštěvníci si budou moci zblízka prohlédnout pohybový systém, zeptat se na technické detaily a vidět, jak výměna probíhá v reálném čase. Jakmile doladím všechny detaily a mechaniku, plánuju celý projekt zveřejnit jako open-source, aby si ho mohl kdokoliv postavit nebo upravit podle sebe. Modely a návody budou volně dostupné na mém profilu na Printables.

AI Mirror

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Aditu Arts

Home: Lagos, Nigeria

AI-generated art has become a huge phenomenon over the past couple of years. Very recently, AI-generated Ghibli-style versions of pictures have sparked a prominent conversation on social media about AI and its artistic capabilities. Aditu intends to bring this conversation to the Maker Faire. The AI Mirror brings AI-styled art to a real-time "Mirror" interface: Participants stand in front of the Mirror and see an AI-modified reflection of themselves. People will see themselves being reflected in Ghibli, Anime, cultural, etc styles. The reflection mimics their movements and gestures (like looking in a normal mirror), but its visually modified by AI in ways that spark curiosity and conversation.

OpenELAB.io

Faire: Prague

Maker: Ping Chen

Home: Czech Republic

OpenELAB.io provides high-quality developer electronics for students, enthusiasts, and professionals. We believe that anyone can build, and we have brought some exciting projects built with developer electronics modules to lean while having fun. 1. Smart Pet Box with M5Stack Plus 2 The Smart Pet Box with M5StickC Plus2 uses various sensors and an automation control system to monitor and control the pet's living environment. The controller features real-time environment monitoring, automatic temperature and humidity control, overheat protection, remote control and data viewing as well as camera monitoring to ensure that a comfortable environment for your pet. 2. AI Polaroid with Raspberry Pi Why settle for traditional photos when you can have AI-enhanced ones? This demo featured a Raspberry Pi-powered polaroid camera capable of generating nine different AI-stylized photo effects, thanks to VanceAI’s image processing. Once a visitor selected a style, the image was printed instantly using a Xiaomi Printer—turning our booth into a mini AI-powered photo studio. 3. Smart Energy System with Arduino As an intelligent battery and load management system using solar panels, batteries, and Arduino, this smart energy system converts solar energy into electrical power, charges batteries, and provides power to Arduino and peripherals. The system also includes real-time monitoring of battery and load parameters such as voltage, current, and power using the INA226 module. 4. Lego Porsche with M5-Programmed Engine & Display Our crowd's favorite was the Lego Porsche demo, featuring an engine controlled by M5AtomS3 Joystick module and digital dashboard display. It illustrated how embedded systems could enhance automation, robotics, and real-world control applications.

Baxterbots

Faire: Happy Valley

Maker: Dan Baxter

Home: Pennsylvania, United States

My work explores the deconstruction of antiques and their transformation into robotic art. This project, RustyBot, combines vintage materials with modern electronics to create a robot that moves, lights up, and speaks. At its core is a Raspberry Pi controlling servos, sound and music hats, NeoPixel LEDs, and solenoids, all integrated through custom-designed PCB boards. A built-in wireless access point and webpage allow visitors to control the robot’s sounds, lights, and movements in real time. Much of the coding was developed with the assistance of ChatGPT, blending human creativity with AI collaboration. Alongside the finished robot, I will also display a working prototype rig that exposes the wiring, components, and code, making the inner workings transparent and easy to understand

Raspberry pi analog musical light show

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Brian Gaun

Home: New York

I am a technology teacher in district 75 New York City. Over the last two years I have used the program and language scratch that have my students write their own program to fire solenoid to play on glockenspiel (Mental Xylopgone made of mettle not wood). At this last year's district stem fair my students put a speaker in a cylinder, covered in rubber, added a mirror and pointed the lasers at it. This resulted in a musical light show playoff the ceiling. We have also used old floppy drives to build a musical instrument that plays mid files.
