Prototyping Box

The rotary knobs, slider, microphone, and ultrasonic sensor send data via a microcontroller over USB to a computer for real-time signal processing. The microcontroller acts as a control unit, enabling interactive experiments with sensors and actuators.

Application

Two OLED displays show the rotary knobs’ positions as shapes (square or circle), and the slider adjusts sensor sensitivity.

The controller is intended to demonstrate the possibilities of sensors and actuators and their integration into programs such as "VVVV" or "OpenFrameworks" in a compact format. At the same time, the box is a portable toolkit for developing, testing and calibrating new ideas for interactive elements in museums as easily as possible.
