Ultrasonic Gesture Sonification Using 4 iMotes and Max Hack (Spring 2007)

Quick'n'dirty hack using 3 iMotes for ultrasonic triangulation (can barely see their LEDs on the floor) of the fourth iMote (held in hand). In this demo the three axes are simply mapped to the amplitudes of three chords. While the iMotes are capable of wireless transmission which would make this demo probably a lot cooler, for this footage we relied upon a serial-to-USB dongle instead. Back end, including data analysis, audio and visuals were done using good ole' Max.
