My final project is an interactive experience that allows users to explore the North Caucasus region (Adyghea, Chechnya, North Ossetia, and Dagestan) as if they are preparing for a journey—whether for university break, a future trip, or just curiosity.
Concept Overview:
The physical part of the project will be a laser-cut/3D printed compass embedded with a potentiometer (or potentially an angle detector) connected to an Arduino. As users physically rotate the compass, it sends data to a P5.js sketch, where the selected region is visually highlighted on a map of the Caucasus.
After selecting a region, users will be presented with a digital menu, which will be the same for each region, with categories like tourist destinations, cuisine, music, what each region is famous for etc. Clicking each category will reveal visuals, audio clips, or text lated to that region and topic.
Current Progress:
I’m currently working on designing the digital side of the project in Canva, so i haven’t started writing the code yet. As for the physical part of the project – compass – i’m planning on doing it later as i think it’s better to visualise the layout of my project first.
