As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

6. Actuation Description - Raj & Abe

Our table is basically a MIDI Controller device. That is to say, it can send MIDI information to any program/actuator that can read it. Our current plan is to send the MIDI to trigger samples in a music program on a laptop, which can connect to speakers. It's possible to have this MIDI to sound processing happen without a laptop's amount of software and external speakers, but this way is going to sound better.

A key piece for the Analog to midi translation is the Mux Shield. >
It takes all those different readings from the pressure sensors and converts them into and array. We're taking the values from this array and turning them into MIDI. So its not really an actuator or a sensor, but it sure is helpful.
