Short N'
Sweet Tour
Box Display

Tangible Media
Design (2025)

I used the intangible data set of Sabrina Carpenter’s bodysuit outfits from her Short N’ Sweet tour and translated it into a tangible form of a light up box-display. The user can swap out panels, each of which represents each of the bodysuits colours and patterns to change what the box is displaying behind Sabrina’s silhouette of her outfit reveal pose. The high-fidelity prototype can be completely disassembled to make it more environmentally friendly.

Watch how it works!

How the display was made!

Application is no longer available.

Learning how to design tangible
interactions taught me about abstraction.
How to take to take something, pull it
apart and make it into something else. It
was a new way to look at design instead of
trying to come up with an original design
from scratch. Making something tangible
was a challenge as I felt I had to stretch
my creativity as a designer to make
something that fit a lot of constraints but
was still creative and reflected who I am.

Tangible Interactions

Features Implemented

Basic electronics to light up the box operated by a simple button at the top of the box.
Acrylic frames with vinyl designs representing nine of Sabrina's Short N' Sweet Tour bodysuits.
The frames have engraved dates of when those patterns were worn on the tour.
The frames are ordered from most worn to least worn.

What I did

Created a high-fidelity prototype that translates intangible data into a tangible form.
Conducted rapid prototyping techniques, creating both a low-fidelity and medium fidelity prototypes.
Conducted the design process over ten weeks to create an effective high-fidelity prototype.
Used theoretical knowledge and an understanding of the processes that underpin the tangible as well as the embodied ways in which people interact with such systems
Operated a laser cutter to construct box pieces.
Learnt basic circuitry to build the electronics
