For this project, our assignment is to create a 2 axis solar tracking biomimetic surface. For the biomimicry/ bioinspiration, we are looking at the window plant and the human eye. According the the AskNature website, window plants enhance photosynthesis by filtering sunlight through their flat tips down towards oxalic acid crystals at the base of the plant, where photosynthesis takes place. The eye focuses also focuses light to a single point, for the purpose of vision. In both cases, light is directed to a specific point.
