GMU:Max and the World/Tan

From Medien Wiki

Project Summary

Integration of sensors to add a certain level of interactivity for a possible video installation. 

The final setup consists of an ultrasonic sensor connected to an Arduino microcontroller sensing and converting data in communication with MAX / MSP. 

 



During the semester I tried out a light sensor and an ultrasonic sensor with MAX / MSP, mostly to change the parameters of sound sources. I experimented with the oscillators in MAX / MSP with data received through sensors changing their parameters. I channeled this setup through guitar pedals. Using the sensors as a simple performance tool and adding a layer of physicality was fun but needed lots of tweaking to make a more stable and predictable instrument. 



I was working on a video for my project module and wanted to see if I'd be able to integrate the sensors to interact with the video playback. It seems to work!
