MUSIC 66/ES 95ME ASSIGNMENT
FEBRUARY 27, 2013
Go through this list and write down a binary (on/off) and continuous sensor for each physical gesture. Be as specific as you can. Here’s an example:
GESTURE / binary sensor / continuous sensorBending elbow / lever switch / short-range IR sensor
Of course many of the gestures will use the same sensors. And if you want to list more than one sensor for a gesture, feel free.
Consider: switches including proximity and tilt; variable resistors of various kinds; IR distance sensors; force-sensing resistors; bend sensors; piezoelectric sensors; accelerometers; biopotential sensors; capacitive sensors; photocells; thermostats; strain gauges; microphones; or cameras.
Please email your filled-out document to
before 9 pm Sunday, March 2.
Don’t forget to put your name on your document!
