Ideas

Alternative controller / custom midi for live visuals

I want to create something that lets me control the visual output of my Processing sketches in a fun way.

Dancing VJ

A dance mat that can be used for creating live visuals through force sensing resistors. Could be small (hands) or big (full body). I would also be interested in making it two-player.

Detail image

I would make a game that lets the player choose between a few songs and then have the visuals react to the dancing. Would also be fun if the player could save the playthroughs as music videos but not sure how to do this yet.

Materials

For small version:

4 force sensing resistors

One simple button and/or potentiometer

Material to protect the sensors

Box for Arduino (wood or plastic, made with laser cutter)

Material cost (coming soon)
