 | How to: Cheap Accelerometer with the Wii Nunchuck
As you're probably well aware, the wiimote and nunchuck have a vast array of sensors built into them. Instead of buying pre-assembled breakout board for $35, or attempting to solder a tiny surface mount accelerometer, learn to exploit the features... |
 | How to: Graphically Visualize Data in Real Time
Although the title of this post may sound a bit advanced or intimidating, fear not grasshopper, data visualization is actually quite simple. Using an outstanding program called Processing, we can read data through our computer's serial port and... |
 | Flexible Interactive Multitouch Display
In the past we've seen plenty of flat, hard multitouch displays. Even a multitouch pad you can build yourself in just 5 minutes. This multitouch pad, on the other hand uses several force sensors covered by a foam pad to read human input. The... |
