Aether Induction House

Distributed media architectures, 2004–2006

distributed dev1

Control Unit in progress

The projection is driven by Flash and a laptop(A), that has ultrasonic sensors (C)
attached to it, sensors that function just like bats navigate. To create a communication flow
between flash and the sensors, we are using a basic microcontroller that is creating ultrasonic
sound bursts and listening to ultrasonic echo. Once a delay value is calculated the chip is talking
to Flash by using a USB computer mouse(B), clicking MORSE code signals, long clicks
and short clicks, a human protocol on a human interface. (The actual code is binary translation
of numbers expressed in clicks)
