Based on an object from the book, Evocative Objects, this class project outlined that an object from the book(in this case a train), was to be translated into a new product, while still maintaining certain aspects of the original object. This projector emits rhythmic sounds while projecting imagery one might find while peering through a passenger car window on a train.
