Mind OVER MEASURE

Please note : This Project is still in the process of Installation & Documentation.

Mind Over Measure is a mechanical arcade game system built for the National Museum of Mathematics in New York. Players are given challenges — get a specific number of balls into canisters — and work out how to solve them through hands-on experimentation. The tangible inputs and outputs make abstract mathematical logic immediate and satisfying. You feel the problem, not just understand it.

There is a full server-side game engine in Node.js that manages game state in real time, communicating with the physical hardware via Artnet protocol and Brainboxes IO. The software handles all physical-digital state management — not just UI, but the complete logic layer driving the whole experience.

The digital UI is a touch screen interface powered by a web app created with React, Typescript and Sass. The UI design was translated from the original version of the game and modernized for new screen resolution and aspect ratio, with additional motion elements. Designed in Figma with a completely vectorized approach.
