Final Project Idea

For my final project I would like to extend the previous project Idea but instead of controlling a camera the user is controlling an avatar through a maze. The maze would be constructed using the array of wooden blocks with wall being represented by raised blocks and paths by lowered blocks. As the user traverses the maze, using basic up, down, left, right movement, the blocks would raise and lower according to changes in position. The avatar would appear in the middle of the grid and the scene, array of blocks, would change as if following him with a fixed camera, leaving the avatar in the middle of the scene.

Project #3 Idea

My idea for project is to be able to view a height-map of an image in the physical world using adjustable wooden blocks. You would place an image underneath a camera that is controllable in the x and y directions and the camera would capture a greyscale image. Using this data you would control the height of an array wooden blocks using actuators. This array would then represent the "terrain" of the given image.
