Fishing cube idea and plan

Fishing cube idea and plan

the concept

This is a fishing box. I feel like putting fishing experience in a small box is interesting.
Actually it is not built for professional fishing lovers.
It is just a fishing box that would simulate the experience of sometimes focused on fishing but sometimes not, sometimes contemplating and sometimes fishing, in most time being patient and slow.
Hopefully people would get the peace and slow feeling with, and having a good time being in a daze.

I plan to use a material of toughness but can bend in the fishing rod. This would make the movement slow and a little bit hard to control. So people should be patient.
the concept

This box has 2 layers. The first is the inner transparent box. And the second one is the outside box that embedded all the sensors.
the concept

I plan to hide the sensors in the five faces of the outside layer of this cube. I am planning to use the VL6180, which is good at detecting distance in a small range. I use this sensor to capture the fishing hook movement in the box.
the concept

I plan to use these sounds as feedback and instructions. I might have to record all the sound. Maybe I will buy a fish in Chinatown and record the sound and then cook it.
The problem might be how to make sound that has direction. I know that there are ways to make sound that has directions but I don’t know how to make it.
the concept

This is the logic flow of interaction. The trick of catching the fish is to follow the sound direction to move the rod and when hearing the sound of the fish on hook, move the rod carefully up with out hesitation.
