Interactive Wallpaper
Conductive inks and the Lilypad Arduino turn silkscreened wallpaper into interactive touch pads. It’s not too clear exactly what your gestures might control as you touch the wall, but the possibilities could include various home functions like lighting, appliances and electronics.
Turn Everyday Objects into Touch Pads
Play bananas like musical instruments or use an ordinary pencil drawing as a game controller with the ‘Makey Makey,’ which turns ordinary objects into touch pads. The gadget connects to the object via alligator clips, and then to a computer via USB cable, functioning with any computer program or web page that would normally be controlled by keyboard strokes or the mouse.
Radioball Leaves Your Listening to Chance
