The tunnel is the entrance to the Space Lounge at a yearly science fiction convention. It can be setup as simple as a pretty entrance, or it can be an interactive experience, where people walk through, they are detected and lights and sound are triggered. The tunnel is controlled by a raspberry pi and distance sensor. The lights and sound can easily be changed to create different vibes – from a friendly welcoming entrance to a security scanner complete with alarms.
