Yeezy has three main modes of operation: a Welcome state, a Run state, and a Celebration state. Upon power up, Yeezy enters the welcome state. In this state, a collection of Kanye's boldest and most Yeezy quotes plays to catch the attention of the user.
The user can then enter the run state by pressing the large green button on the control panel. The start of the run state is indicated by the button light turning off, the record needle moving onto the record, and then the record, itself, starting to spin. Through the entire run state, the record continues to spin while the needle slowly increments its way towards the center of the track, indicating the passage of time. Additionally, a mashup of Mr. West's biggest hits blasts for the user to jam out to. Between songs, the user will be prompted to "Put your hands up!" via audio. At this time, the user may raise their hands in front of two proximity sensors to either initiate or change the color on the LED's that flash behind an acrylic cutout of Kanye. These LED's have been configured to pulse to the beat of the music, providing maximum hype. |
After the 35 second jam session, Yeezy will move into the celebration state, when all of the lights of the device will begin flashing and changing colors. During these 10 seconds, Mr. West announces his intention to run for president in 2020, completing the devices sequence. At this point in time, the music and lights will shut off, the record will stop spinning, and the record needle will reset. After resetting, Yeezy will once again be in the welcome state.
Throughout the different states of Yeezy, the user can also slide an 808-esque slider to control the position of the shutter shades relative to the acrylic Kanye face. In true 808 fashion, the movement of the slider is indicated by surrounding LED's to mark the position of the slider. |
