Dan | Stephen //Artefact

The physical artifact that houses our Arduino is a toilet paper dispenser designed for a public restroom space. We wanted to house the Arduino to keep it concealed from direct view but can be viewed for the curious/suspicious user. By using curves and we wanted to reference the shape of a roll of toilet paper and make it easy for the user to see how much paper is on the roll as well as see how much they are using.

We wanted to keep it self contained in one unit so we designed it by using laser cut acrylic, heating and bending it to hold the roll and the Arduino. We sanded it and then applied several coats of white paint to finish it off.
