For an assignment for my physical computing class my partners (Chris and Olya) and I designed and built a simple musical instrument housed inside a foam ball. Basically, the device allows the user to control the pitch, octave and volume of notes by moving a ball around in three-dimensional space. While the practical applications of something like this are relatively limited (unless Björk wants to order a few of these for her next tour?), it was still a fun project to see through to fruition. For more detailed information on how the ball was constructed, head over to my ITP blog.
