Peter’s Produce Pressure Project (2)

For our second pressure project, I used an Arduino (similar to a Makey-Makey) to allow for users to interact with a banana and orange as vehicles for generating audio.  As the user touches a piece of fruit, a specific tone begins to pulse.  Upon moving that fruit, it’s frequency increases with velocity.  Then, if both pieces of fruit move quickly enough, geometric shapes on-screen explode!  Once you let go of them, the shapes will reform into their geometric representations.

Our class’s reaction to the explosion was awesome; I wasn’t expecting it to be that great of a payoff 🙂
