Questions Posed to Class Which case are you most interested in playing with: • Musical Instrument • Story Telling • Message System What other compelling use cases can you imagine?
Final Implementation Goals • Gears tracked with amoebas • Speed-sensitive playback • Multiple speed sensors for collaboration • Recording sounds • Indicators when sounds are recorded • Gears can be reset to default music instrument • Volume varies with distance from driving gear • Simultaneous playback • Same sound forwards and backwards
Arduino software and board Max/MSP Processing ReactVision Tools Used
Post-Exhibition Reflection Users naturally wanted to use the holes in the gears for turning. The act of making music through simple movement was fun! The realities of implementation can limit portability and functionality. It is important to have a good idea of what you expect the results to be, and prepare a compelling demo.
