Interactive 3D Map at Los Luceros Historic Site, Los Luceros, NM

This interactive 3D map is a CNC engraved 60” x 42” table made from Jemez Pine burned in the New Mexico fires in Spring of 2022. This map has 11 buttons on the border of the map that illuminate different buildings relating to the button. The cut outs feature a square with 3D objects that relate to the building and a button with a braille description. There are 11 locations that are pointed out in the map, and more can be added at a later date if the client wishes. Each location is important to the site and is also a tool for the staff to share about the Historic Site.

The Los Luceros Historic Site is the newest site in New Mexico and opened in 2019, right before the world shut down during the Pandemic in 2020. This map will be a great tool for the site to use and will be mobile and follows ADA specifications. The map was designed by Becca Sharp and the buildings/objects on the map and buttons were designed and created by Lydia Gonzales and Becca Sharp. The electronics were fabricated by the team as well as with Rianne Trujillo and Miriam Langer. This project is using the Museduino V4 to connect multiple buttons and responsive neopixels using one Arduino Uno.
