I worked with my friend Rebecca Uliasz to create a set of devices that each incorporate inertial sensors to transmit data about their individual position and movement in real time; specifically, elastic/silicon balls that can be thrown, caught, rolled and bounced. The data transmitted includes three dimensional accelerometer data, a gyroscope to measure changes in rotational orientation, a magnetometer to measure gravitational fields. The data is streamed to media software to control aspects of audio and visuals in real-time.
