Interactive loom

An interactive loom comprising:

• loom mechanics including a plurality or arms coupled with at least one cam, each of said at least one cam is in the form of a cylinder rotating about the axis thereof, the circumferential surface of said cam exhibiting a determined surface geometry, such that each of a plurality of sections of said circumferential surface corresponds to a respective one of said arms, said circumferential surface further exhibiting a respective cross sectional profile and such that each rotational position of said cam is associated with a respective state of lowered and raised arms;
• a user interface for receiving a design from a user;
• a loom interface coupled with said loom mechanics, said loom interface at least including a motor coupled with said cam, said loom interface operating said loom mechanics according to received instructions;
• a controller coupled with said user interface and with said loom interface, said controller receiving said design from said user interface and transforming said design into a sequence of states of said arms required for achieving said design, said controller further providing said instructions to said loom interface, said instructions being associated with state changes of said arms.
