Glare Module
GLARE - A gesture controllable polyphonic sound interface.
GLARE is a speculative interface trying to explore what lies
behind the boundaries of the usual input devices. It is a
synthesizer, controlled by gestures only. Its 16 voices are
triggered by the 16 different sensors that react to changes in
brightness. The volume can be controlled by proximity to the
sensor. A calibration function ensures smooth operation in
different lighting situations. The sensors can easily be removed
for transport and storage. Instead of audio, the GLARE module can
also output control voltage on 16 outputs via the patch matrix.
The GLARE module was created as a part of
XPUB
Special Issue 10. It is built using a custom made circuit board, a Teensy Board
and Arduino.
