Building Prototype

I have started building the prototype version of my final design. The prototype is based off of a demo created by digital artist Kyle MacDonald, who used the Arduino's ability to use capacitive sensing for human input.

Though the prototype itself is not yet finished, all that really needs doing is in the code. I need to finish uploading sketches to my arduino, as well as test whether or not it runs.
Either way, here are some photographs of what it currently looks like.

I might have "borrowed" some white plastic from Uni, I thought it would look better than brown cardboard.

The 3D space. A 10 by 10 inch cube, lined on the inside with aluminium foil plates. These foil plates will act as the capacitors that will detect when input is being given. The box thing, thats just for my prototype, I want to make my project bigger, and hopefully change my design into a flat, or slightly curved surface. 

Next I put together the wires that would connect the box to the Arduino. After soldering a few shielded wires to some crocodile clips, I attached some 220K resistors to the arduino's 5V power switch, and some 10K resistors to its output pins 8,9 and 10. The 220K resistors will control the power going into the device, whilst the 10K will recieve electrical input from the box when the users hand is present.

So far this is just the build, and not a working model. I hope to have a working model finished soon so that I can give a demo of my project.
