The It Might Be The Final Mock-up_Test

According to my glass cutter, it was impossible to make 4 prisms perfectly fit to one another. Thus they all have different hight and when they are placed on an ipod touch, the gaps appear between each prism. Although these gaps make quite intriguing effects, and theoretically the mock-up worked well, its size probably should be scaled down to the actual display size (70.5×  50.0 mm) instead of the current size, which covers the entire ipod touch (111.0 × 58.9 mm). 

The reasons for this are; firstly, some part of the display ( black part) and ipod touch (silver part) get reflected and distracted the animation. Secondly, 4 prisms couldn't be placed perfectly stable and fell off from the ipod touch. Consequently, I already tipped the edge of a large prism and cut myself.

The It Might Be The Final Mock-up_design

The idea of this might-be-the-final-mock-up is to combine 4 prisms ( Large×2, Small×2) to create a pyramid shape in the center . (The center part will be empty) 



>> Large prism 


>> Small prism

For this alternate version, the resort stand ring holds the prism instead of the previous clamp. This version appeared to me more stable and present inside animation effectively.

Lumino Kinetic Lab S4 001

This is a makeshift testing set and also a possible option for my final mock-up. Inspired by science laboratories, a clamp attached to the retort stand holds the prism.
