In the final week, at first, I focus on finishing the physical structure of the cube such as putting all the one-way mirror film on both inner and outer mirror, then I need to put the LED structure into the cube and make sure they do not interfere with each other. I need to resolder and debug multiple times where 2 LEDs just accidentally touch each other and make the light not responding. Then I added the bottom layer to make sure the cube can stand straight and the inner mirror is parallel with the outer one. The picture below shows the bottom structure.
I also make the Top structure to attach to the cube and I also added LED there. One thing I notice when I turn on the LED is that the effect of infinite, only slightly exist because the inner mirror is very small, therefore we need to view cube very close and the environment need to be very dark to see the effect. Therefore, I changed my plan to focus on the puzzle side of the cube rather than the infinite mirror effect itself. I also decorate each side of the cube with different LED diffuse material to see how much it works with the infinite mirror effect.
I also face a problem with the wire issue because there were too many wires in the system which affect the IMU when the viewer rotate them for a long time. Therefore I resolder a different type of wire so that the IMU can move around and rotate easier.
I also focus on making the cube has many different puzzle (total of 8). And the top LED will show the progress of your current puzzles, how many puzzle left until you defeat it. I spend lots of time playing around with codes and ways you can map 3 variables of yaw pitch and roll of an IMU into different puzzle and way to display the LEDs inside the cube. I also make a hint for all the puzzle during the final presentation so viewer can try to guess and solve the puzzle.
