Iris PC power button.

The plan is an iris door that opens and lifts a PC power button into reach.

THE BIG REVEAL

Concept illustration · The physical project is still taking shape.

Build notes

The idea is a little dome whose overlapping doors open to present a PC power button. Press it, and the computer starts.

This is a concept we're exploring. The first job is making a simple iris mechanism that opens smoothly. The lift and PC connection come after that. The illustration is a concept sketch.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Prototype the iris motion before combining it with the lift.
