  Successful Test of Prototype  

Fefu and Her Friends is an immersive show where the audience walked on stage for the second Act. For my senior design capstone, I was tasked to create and build a design that will allow four exit signs to be visible when the audience is on stage and out of sight when the audience is in the house.

The final design consisted of two exit signs connected to pneumatic cylinders extending/retracting out of 2-1/2" deep walls with a single switch. All four exit signs' illumination could be turned on and off with a single switch while still being connected to a battery back up.
