Robotsonic is a musical interface.
It seeks to create a play space, where through the presence of light and the ability to
manipulate sound, a child can react to his/her imagined play landscape.
The interface consist of:
1. A wrist band with four buttons that trigger different preprogramed sound sequences and
an IR sensor that allows the user to control the tempo of two of the pre-programed sequences
in real time.
2. A head gear that houses two speakers.
Robotsonic is inpired by interfaces related to the experience of adventure and discovery
such as an astronout helmet, a diving bell, or robot head.
This cultural reference are meant to enriched and enhanced the play experience by suggesting
a narrative. Future interations envision a second interface and the hability toto communicate
from one interface to the other.

Cymaitics – 3form wave visualizer. Light, Sound and Water Waves. from Thai Le on Vimeo.
Justin Blinder testing my cymatic boom box. I think the box will need lights on the EQ and on the volume so you know what you are doing when its dark, we had problems trying to find it in the dark. Also, I will think about using a baffle as he suggested which shows interference patterns better. I added a white backer board behind the speaker surface which really made the visualization a little easier to see in detail.
These guys have sprayed rat brain cells on to a circuit board – using it to control a robot body via ultra-sound!
