Jukebox & memory
Musy's inspiration came from jukeboxes that were used in pubs for dancing. The aim of Musy is to use music to strengthen the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren and bring up memories of the grandparent.

Sketch → prototype → 3D
Through sketching, prototyping and 3D printing the team came to the final result.
Mechanism & assembly
Orbit opening, lip-and-groove connection techniques and a coin roundel providing the rotation — engineered to feel intentional in the hand.
Connection between track and holder
The holder and track are connected via a sliding mechanism.
Orbit opening
The track and holder have an opening so that the ribbon with magnet, which is in contact with the coin, can be connected with the gear in the base.
Coin
The coin's roundel provides the rotation.
Exploded view
Here is an overview of the parts from the 3D model.
Connection techniques
The different parts are positioned correctly via a lip & groove.
Object in the room
We had decided to build a pedestal so that the mechanism and projector remained in a fixed location. We had decided to have a black area in the front and top view for the projection and to make the shape of the prototype stand out in the environment.
Final scenario
The finished Musy — track, coin and mechanism working together — and the scenario sequence that shows how a grandparent and grandchild use it side by side.
