The
Reaction
Box
Interaction Product Design
This product aims to be a simple but fun and engaging way for 2 people to interact with each other.
It encourages a little competition, and breaks down formality between 2 people who have just met.
Simple text and graphics make the reaction box easy to understand and interact with.
The project aimed to re-create a classic reaction game to be played by 2 people. The first player to win 5 games against the opponent would be declared the winner. The game was programmed in Micropython and installed on an Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, connected to the various input and output devices.
The project consists of a custom designed laser-cut plywood box, that integrates analogue buttons for input, 1 LCD screen, 1 OLED screen and 1 buzzer for output.
The 2 players begin the game by reading the instructions on the LCD screen, which tells them that the player with the quickest reaction when the LCD screen turns from red to green will win a point. The OLED screen displays an arrow to point at the player who pressed the button first.
The first player to get 5 points will win the game, and a celebratory graphic will be displayed, in addition to a buzzer sounding to signal the end of the game.
