It features 200 rotating quills driven by fully custom electromagnetic actuators, and animates in response to the facial expressions and positions of observers (determined via a privacy-preserving facial tracking camera).

I used tricks from game development to reduce iteration bottlenecks and improve performance 20x.

 My team&amp;rsquo;s final project was Complete Galactic Dominion (CGD), an (over)ambitious real-time strategy game played on a toroidal map (the playing area doesn&amp;rsquo;t have defined boundaries but wraps around like old arcade games like Pac-Man).
