Premise

Google Analytics can be used to predict flooding so they asked Deeplocal to create an exhibit to showcase their suite of predictive monitoring tools at their Cloud Next Conference. We designed a diorama that depicted the Missoula, MT flood plain. The diorama flooded and drained based on historical flood data while a series of buttons toggled between different data sets displayed on a screen. Google was so happy with this installation, they ordered a second, permanent version for their Cloud Space Customer Experience Center in Mountain View, CA.

My Role

I wrote firmware to read a resistive liquid level sensor and control a submersible pump and various solenoid valves for filling and draining the diorama. I designed power distribution and wiring for the exhibit and physically installed the exhibit on the ground at Cloud Next 2018.
