MLGI

My friend Meason just put up some photos of the interface he's been working on -- It's a proximity-sensitive controller that detects the light levels on the user's hands (the light is generated by lasers) via photoresistors. The resistance is fed into the analog input of a CUI board (a PIC-based USB-compatible controller) and is output as MIDI data. He's using it to control Reaktor, ChucK, and other parameters in other programs. It's open source and very open ended, extremely expressive, and is tons of fun to use.
