Garth Zeglin: Art Capacitance Links

Here are a few assorted links to art projects that somehow use a capacitance sensor. Most of them use it as a user interface, often as a way to create a touch sensor out of an object. Some use them for analog input, a la a Theremin. The QT113 chip is a popular choice for a binary sensor.

• Imagination/Isolation, touch sensitive sculpture
• DC3 touch sensitive light sculpture, in a Dorkbot show: [1][2][3]
• sound mixer with touch activation
• rice sculpture with water bowl activation
• human-sensing hammock with nearby high-voltage discharge
• BabySense Environment
• Lumabloom
• Non-conventional interfaces using Stamp controllers, from 6th Eurographics Workshop on Multimedia Preliminary Proceedings. See section 6.3.1, about Chris Rule MA thesis involving an installation with a capacitance sensing room.
