An interactive hardware-software installation developed for the Sharjah Reading Festival. The application features a custom quiz game built in Unity that tests visitors' reading knowledge. Built with a decoupled, data-driven architecture, all quiz questions, answer keys, and category configurations are loaded from an external file, allowing real-time content updates without rebuilding the application. Upon quiz completion or achieving a target score, the Unity engine sends targeted serial commands to an integrated Arduino board, which decodes the payload and triggers specific motor relays to dispense rewards from the designated vending slot.
