Hackerspace-Adelaide & the Format Festival

As part of the Format Festival, Hackerspace-Adelaide had a chance to showcase the type of work it does. This year Hackerspace-Adelaide showcased the SpokePOV kits from the RI-Aus Science Outside the Square event which Hackerspace participated with; the Force-Petal-Mind-Game which was build with the assistance and guidance of Dr. Zoz for the RI-Aus quiz night.


Also on display were the two centerpieces of the day, the Peel St Lantern, a group project being constructed with the help of most Hackerspace-Adelaide members, and Tekken Torture, made by Ryan and Pix.
Unfortunately Hackerspace-Adelaide was unable to get the Lantern running before the day, but Tekken Torture was a success with most people through, having a go on it.


The final couple of things on display were the Xbox Kinect Virtual Piano and a knitted computer. Towards the end of the day/evening some of the guys had fun rolling a tire along the virtual piano for fun. Overall the day was a big success, with everyone who came through expressing a real enthusiasm for what Hackerspace-Adelaide has been up to.
