First Installation
We developed a specialized Stakco Light puzzle system tailored for autistic children. In collaboration with AWWA School, and guided by their valuable feedback, we designed a large-format, wall-mounted puzzle structure. This installation was set up in the school's multi-sensory room to offer a calming and interactive experience.
From Concept to Classroom
After the initial testing phase, and based on insights shared by teachers, we temporarily removed the structure to build a reinforced, lightweight version using an improved tracking mechanism.
Engineering Play with Precision
In the original version, each rotating plate was equipped with a rotary encoder and gear system. These encoders measured the rotation in real time and transmitted the data to a central ESP32 microcontroller, which then sent it to a TCP server. The Stakco Light Android TV app, connected to this server, would read the incoming data in real time and rotate the corresponding digital puzzle layers to match the physical movements.
The app displayed the circular puzzle interface, which was projected and precisely mapped onto the physical structure—creating a seamless and immersive blend between the physical and digital layers.
Designed for Teachers, Inspired by Students
Teachers can create curated puzzles using the Stakco Studio platform, tailoring them to fit their curriculum or individual student needs. These custom puzzles are automatically synced to the Android TV app, allowing for a streamlined experience. Using just the TV remote, teachers can switch between puzzles, mix pieces, or solve them with a click, making it effortless to adapt during a session.
Immersion Through Sights and Sounds
The experience is further enhanced with relaxing background music, fostering a soothing and sensory-friendly environment ideal for engagement and focus.
