[...] Interactive interfaces, using open source and cheap materials. Tactile interfaces of easy  usablity  and learning willing to be installed in multiple spaces for modifiyng their  carachteristics.

Tangu: Interactive multi user interface. in Phase of development, we had created three prototipes and contents using processing code

They can be placed either on floor or wall, creating different situations and types of interaction.can be re-utilized for multiple projects aiming to promote  multi- authorship  and work in progress

Now there are 2 envelopes, LFO, random, and velocity modulators for the filter and the wavetable position and sync pitch.
This only has 32K of wavetables, instead of 256.
MIDI controls are temporary, it will have pots for everything.
current code (for 3 weeks)

sounds trippy good 

It may not be obvious from the surface, but the project has really taken off.  If you pick up this month’s copy of Wired, the fetish photo was shot using the OpenMoco system, I have worked directly with that photographer to help him build a system based around OpenMoco to solve many of his studio needs.  Jay Burlage (of HDR and ‘milapse’ notoriety) joined me in the project a few months back, and has really helped increase the traction of the project with both pro and amateur shooters.

Arduino-powered clothing is nothing new; we’ve seen CO2-detecting dresses,compass belts and inbox-checking T-shirts all within the last six months. But this Ping social networking garment concept is not quite the same thing. Where those were DIY projects with a single-function, Ping is the brainchild of a professional UI designer… and the fabric itself is a social network UI that registers your movements as attempts to communicate. Woven with flexible sensors and conductive threads connected to an Arduino Lilypad and Xbee, clothing made from the fabric can detect when you lift a hood or tie a ribbon and wirelessly send Facebook status updates accordingly — or tap you on the shoulder in a number of different rhythms so you know not only when, but who might be trying to get in touch. Designer Jennifer Darmour imagines a future in which clothing offers full-body 3D gesture recognition and senses our environment. When we can reliably use it to control our computers, we hope she’ll get in touch.

This is using a new Arduino Duemilanove board with a regular Atmega328p, with no bootloader. I wanted to do the BitBang mode, since I didn’t want to get or make anything else, and the ArduinoISP, I didn’t have access to another Arduino. So I pieced together 3 different guides, I finally got it working.

Anthros is a project I began working on as my fourth-year university thesis project for New Media at Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada). It uses open source tech (OpenFrameworks, Arduino) to make large tentacle-like nodes follow a user through a space. It was shown at Meta 2010, our thesis project show, in Arta Gallery at the distillery district of Toronto.

The system is run off of a computer tucked away behind a wall. A webcam mounted on the ceiling above the piece is aimed down to see the field of people and tentacles. The computer processes this video stream using OpenFrameworks, ofxOpenCv, and the software written on top of these for managing tentacle positions and calculations. The computer then outputs the data via USB to an Arduino, which controls and updates a servo controller.

Wires run from the servo controller to each node, which includes two high-torque servo motors (x, y axes), which cause the node’s spine to bend in a particular direction, giving it movement. The skin is composed of a lightweight vinyl which has a skin-like texture to help keep the balance between the synthetic and the organic.?

Apparently wishing to tout the bendable qualities of its new footwear, Nike enlisted sound artists to transform its product into a musical instrument. The shoes get plugged in, switched on, and mixed up, battle-style, as they sense when the shoe is flexed or moved in space. And yes, everything you see in the video is real: the shoes really are controlling digital sound live. We even have the Max patch to prove it.

I spoke to Daito, and convinced him to share the software that makes the project tick. Daito says he used flex sensors (see examples) and accelerometers to make the shoes interactive. He then processed the control signal and converted it to sound using the modular visual programming environmentMax/MSP and Ableton’s Max for Live.
