We will survey sensor types covered include:
resistive, position, inertial, capacitive, RF, ultrasound, magnetic and optical.
Build sensors from fabric
We will explore the major sensor integration systems, e.g., Make Controller Kit, Arduino, and CUI,
How to adapt existing sensors such as the Nintendo Wii controllers.
During the laboratory sessions we will build complete instruments or art pieces by using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol as glue between sensor data and synthesis patches in PD and Max/MSP/Jitter and Processing.
Sound, Image and Motion Synthesis
Many sample programs for these environments will be provided to test and calibrate the sensor projects and contextualize them in viable artistic contexts. Students will have hands on experience with new sensor systems being presented at NIME2007
