elmonic vivisection part two:
"Let’s pretend Elmo" is a toy designed for children 18 months of age and older. It is a complex automated design that responds to various positions and poses. The machine includes a series of mechanical and electrical parts, including circuit boards, micro-switches, a motor, various sensors, and a processor. The toy is programmed to respond to five specific positions, with two programmed reactions for each. These reactions include movement as well as a variety of noises and words.
As the machine is comprised of a multitude of electronic parts that respond to specific cues, the toy can therefore be manipulated to suit an architectural scale. Although it is unlikely that the sound can be specifically changed, it is possible that it could be manipulated or altered in numerous ways. The micro switches and sensors not only prompt sound, but also movement. The toy could therefore be used to create a variety of complex movements and noise. It could likely be integrated into wall systems, door and window systems, or any installation where the user could instigate a series of movements and responses by triggering an initial sensor.
