Intimate Control and the Multidimentional Force SensorMultitouch Prototype 2 from Randy Jones on Vimeo. So this got the attention of our (that being CTP and I) class today. Multitouch, pressure and velocity sensing?! And under $50 to make!!!? W00t! Three or four of us are gearing up to try and make one these, what, Intimate Controller? Multidimentional Force Sensor? I'm not sure what they are being called, but we want to make one this semester. CDM, I think, says it best: "Who needs a "top 10 technologies of 2008" post for CDM when this particular instrument could pretty easily top the whole list? Let’s just call it done, and uncork the champagne: major congrats, Randy!" But here is the kicker: the audio interface that he uses runs at about $1000. That's a bit steep for most people who are attracted to this project precisely because it is inexpensive. In the comments for the video, Randall hints at both OSC and use of the Arduino in future versions, so it doesn't sound like it's out of the realm of possibilities. If true, the latter would really allow this project to get it's legs, while the former could open up whole new realms of possibilities (video manipulation, use in Supercollider, Chuck or Processing). Exciting! Posted at 1:29 AM by Ian | |
