Abstract

This project is a technological innovation that aims to develop a reconfigurable device of elevation and depth data. In this way, a physical display in 16:9 resolution is created, which will make it possible to display information in three dimensions with the use of elevation data through the implementation of an application that controls 144 servo motors available in a 16x9 matrix, as well as implementing applications to control this display. Based on an Engineering Method, the project consists of a wooden structure with 144 coupled servo motors. Above the table, there is a white knitted fabric, on which the servo motors are attached and perform vertical movements, pulling and lifting the fabric. Attached to the wooden structure, there is another structure in which a projector is attached and projects the images to be displayed over the fabric. This project can have numerous multidisciplinary applications. With the final result of this project, some goals were achieved, such as the development of interactive applications and the way this project can be applied in several different contexts, from school teaching to industrial application.
