Wave Orange (3. Gen – Mobile, Wireless )

Wave Orange is a wireless iPhone/iPod based interactive co-creative tangible to play on and with. It has two interactive arms. In the long orange arm the iPhone/iPod is placed, and we use the built in accelerometer as the input sensor. The black arm contains a microphone, which the user can sing or talk into. LEDs integrated into the textile respond to the voice and movement input. LEDs in the textile also visualize the created music. The speaker is in the orange wide light field, where you can create your own sound and light experience. It will be part of the user study at Haug School spring 2013.
