    Fun. As for sustainable design, how much power does it use?

    The idea is reminiscent of Ishii's tangible bits, ambient information displays, and the Star Wars "Force Trainer."

    I've posted the video and some thoughts on my blog: arcball.com/?p=1566

    Tell us more about how it displays weather info : )

    where did you get the lightuino from?
  • Poietic Studio 1 year ago
    From Andrew Stone:
    effluviaofascatteredmind.blogspot.com/2009/10/lightuino-design-thoughts.html
    He makes and sells them himself - very nice & helpful guy

    also as i've never used max msp and i've only ever used a freeduino with arduino/processing....can you explain how this actually works?
  • Poietic Studio 1 year ago
    Max msp is great, you can download a 30 day trial. The lightuino communicates with Max msp via a customised version of 'messenger' code (usually communicates between max and an arduino) which I can give you if your interested.
    The c74 app for the iphone can be downloaded like any other app - this can control sliders and buttons etc on max msp via your iphone over wireless internet.

  • Hi, if you like the idea about floating balls, you should check a very different implementation out at akosta.dk/musiccubes/
    or watch just the video at youtube.com/watch?v=PF2gExHyd5k
    In the "Music Cubes" you can actually grab the balls and place directly in the height you want them to have!
    It's a whole new interaction :)
    Plus the implementation allows you to 'play' the balls as if they where nodes, thereby making different tones for different heights.

    PS: The akosta webpage is currently only in danish, but if someone wants an explanation in english I'm sure we can work something out.

    of course! send me your email and i'll send you the file...
