League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots - Guitar Bot

  This Guitar Bot has a real interesting sound. What would be cool is an iPhone app that would allow rea time interaction with the musical device. "GuitarBot is an electrified slide guitar that is versatile, responsive and easy to control, with high-quality sound. Now in it’s third iteration, the instrument consists of four independent single-stringed slide guitar units controlled by a motorized belt that moves a sliding bridge. The

3D Electrostatic Computer Interface

  Justin Schunick, Mark Hollenbeck, Luke Shaheen, Scott Gillette and Glenn Black from Northeastern University have created one of the coolest sensor system I have seen in a long time. It uses a PIC 18F4550 microcontroller and an array of simple sensors that are made out of copper plates. It can detect hand movements in 3space all around the tops of the sensors to provide an accurate position indication. At

Arduino based Capacitive 3D Controller

  This Arduino based Capacitive 3D Controller that Kyle McDonald built looks like it is way to simple to function. Have a look at the video to see the amazing type of accuracy this device is capable of. The possibilities are endless for this cheap setup, I can imagine a security pass code that is not a code but rather a gesture within the 3space that the sensor field can
