[PD] Alternate Controllers

[James Rojsirivat]

An easy controller you can make is a Power Glove like kind of thing. When I studied with Laetitia Sonami at the San Francisco Art Institute back in the late 90's, she was using her Lady Glove. It was (and is) essentially a glove with small trigger buttons, bend sensors, and tilt sensors. And if I remember correctly, I think she said IRCAM helped her develop the current version she's using. I may be wrong. I haven't seen Laetita in several years. But you can easily run all of those sensors through an Arduino and into PD. Of course if you ever decide to implement something like that, you would definitely be making a reference to Laetitia's work.

Subject: [PD] Alternate Controllers

Hello all,

Over the past few weeks, I have been looking at building a controller for myself, but was curious what other sorts of things others are doing with alternate controllers. What controllers are you using? How are you using them to control your programs? Has anyone considered putting together an "Alternate Controllers for PD" page?


I am just curious if I should build my own, or just use an existing controller...


(Also, Hans, the other day you posted about a new controller you have, but I can't find the email... What was that device?)


Thanks,


Mike
