This project is based on using inflated balloons inside a flexible, airtight bag to create an
adjustable wall.
These are a few ideas following this concept:
- All balloons inflated to create a rectangular wall after deflation.
- Lines of inflated balloons to create a moving wall.
- Fill each balloon separately to achieve the most individual shape.
- The airflow/suction could be regulated by a computer controlled valve system to let the wall move when different pressures are applied.
