The Professor's Laboratory was created together with the Danish theme park Danfoss Universe, as our final exam project during our education as multimedia designers. Our assignment was to create an entertainment that would attract more children to the park as well as educating them on natural science. At the same time it was a personal goal to think creatively and innovative in order to achieve this goal.

Because the theme park, Danfoss Universe, had a professor (“mad scientist”) as their mascot, we chose to make a laboratory. In order to make this laboratory as interesting as possible we decided to use sensor technology as an interface for the virtual laboratory.

The result is a virtual laboratory, made in Flash, that is connected to two ultrasonic range finding sensors that allows you to control the game, using your own movements. Flash and the sensors communicate using the Arduino programming language (which is based on C++).
