Twiz

The Urban Explorations Project began in 2012 as an investigation on the ordinary happenings and encounters in the Singapore heartlands, narrated through the retrieval of sound, colours, smells, soil samples, found objects, behavorial observations and traffic patterns.

Driven by a low-tech approach in collecting data rather than making use of digitally available big data sets to make sense of the urban environment, the explorers are required to conceptualize and design their own methods and strategies to collect and categorize data.
The exhibition was from June 4th to 14th in Paris, here is a video that was shown there:

Now the IMU data can be used to control addressable LEDs (as well as wireless 3D viz) :

There was some timing clashes due to the radio and the I2C communication but this repo was quite helpful :

That's it, we're in the future, we can control the 3D virtual world from the real tangible world !

The rotation around the Y axis (roll) controls the green spheres, and the rotation around the Z axis (yaw) controls the logo.

This is an old dream, control hundreds of robotic arms from performers motion such as those guys:

The 1st robotic arm prototype is built:

Now we just need 99 more to make an army of flame throwers !!

Anyway, the 1st application will be to use it for magnetic calibration...

Now we can control WS2812 LED !

...next step, make it work with the radio on ;p

Thanks to the lava project!

This video shows how a 3D model can be wirelessly controlled from the Twiz sensor data :

A few examples have been pushed to the repo, this one allows controlling your favorite game, breakout!
