Sketching in VR

What if we used virtual reality to design a piece of kinetic art?

To celebrate mechanical engineering at JPL, I was selected to create a kinetic sculpture that would occupy a wall in a newly designed building. Once we had a concept, I built a VR tool to sketch the sculpture virtually. The outcome was a physical prototype and a virtual reality tool to “sketch” the sculpture in the selected space.
