[PD] Connection with sensors - new devices?

[Anders Friberg]

You probably know this, but there is a new wiki site trying to gather 
all information about sensors and sound control. There is already a fair 
amount of references, lists of devices, and general sensor tutorial 
stuff: http://www.sensorwiki.org/
I guess discussion about sensor technology could be there as well since 
many questions are of a more general nature.
You may also check out the european action Congas (Gesture controlled 
audio systems) http://www.cost287.org/
