Pressure Project #3

Posted: October 27, 2020 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized |Leave a comment »

For this project, I wanted to create a mystery box, that depending on the spot touched, a different sound would play.

There are designated spots throughout the box, to trigger different sounds, but because I used the conductive thread, there were many spots that could be touched for the same sound, and sometimes without realizing. There is also randomness to the box at first, since the spots are not labelled it takes a moment to memorize what triggers what sound.

  • This spot triggers a colored star.
  • This photo shows the top of the box, including the spot where it grounds, and another cue.
All of these photos show the box and the different spots they have available to touch to trigger a sound.

Picking out different sounds, some are random effects, some are songs that may be recognized. My personal favorite is the “Jellyfish Jam” from Spongebob as one of the cues (I knew I wanted to use this going in).

This could be easily adaptable to a different device, as long as the device has six or less touchable spots that can be triggered.

This shows the Isadora patch, which does need the stage shown just for one of the spots.
This shows the User Actor, which is what controls the color changing star. It does need manually reset one it fully makes it through the colors.

I also left a few notes of instruction, just saying to ground the box then touch any spot with thread or colored black, and that the star does need manually reset after so many touches.

Everything except for the star is an up key, so that it does not trigger until the spot touched is released. Below is the Zip file for the patch.
