Sub-teams
Our 5 unique teams
ELECTROMECHANICAL (EM)
The Electromechanical team focuses on designing, building, and animating physical mechatronic characters and objects. The team programs Arduinos connected via Ethernet to Unity, to control motors, and lights.
SENSOR PROCESSING & NETWORKING (SPN)
The Sensor Processing & Networking team uses camera-based computer vision implemented with Python code and the Mediapipe Pose library to enable the player to control exhibit effects using their body pose. Python and mySQL utilize a bar-code printer and scanners to track players’ progress throughout the gameplay.
The game is controlled with C# scripts within Unity. LIDAR, processed by C++ code, detects section occupancy and intrusion into the mechatronic’s space.
VISUAL ART AND DESIGN (VAD)
The Visual Art and Design team uses Blender and Unity to create interactive video with landscape and animated characters and objects to respond to players’ motions and set the entire scene and ambience.
SOUND DESIGN (SD)
The Sound Design team uses Unity and VoiceMeeter to trigger music stems, voices for on-screen characters and mechatronic narration, and sound effects for the exhibition.
WED DEVELOPMENT (WD)
The Web Development team uses WordPress, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to create and maintain the Electronic ARTrium website, which showcases past and present exhibitions, past art workshops, and additional information for anyone interested in joining the project.
Interested in Joining?
Georgia Tech students can participate to earn academic credit in any of three ways:
- Joining the VIP team Electronic ARTrium at the following link. Check out our current teams and their specializations!
- Signing up for an undergraduate research project.
- By doing a senior capstone design project that contributes to the exhibit.
For an undergraduate research project, if the student is not in the School of ECE, there must be a co-advisor from the student’s school. Co-advisors are greatly welcomed because they become collaborators.
To join the team, please contact Professor Weitnauer or Dr. Timothy Brothers
