MIDI Control
05/29/2023 at 11:09 • 0 commentsMaking the software control external hardware from every device is possible thanks to WebMIDI! My original plans for use serial port still works but only really has access when used on a desktop system... However all these messages can also be sent over WebMIDI which just so happens to work across *all* devices including mobiles and tablets! The MIDI signal can be sent over a standard 2.5mm stereo jack and so with the right adapter (USB-C to MIDI2) you can use the Photosynth to control other musical equipment as well as using the signals to controls other hardware such as pointing devices, letter selectors, volume dials, smart home lights and assistants such as Siri and Alexa.

0.6.1 is finally here
06/28/2021 at 18:58 • 0 commentsSo after trialling it out with some sensitive induvials, it turns out that certain features can appear quiet scary so to make it easier for kids to use, and for an extra layer of fun, you can now superimpose a range of different eyes, from Terminator style red eyes to Frank Sidebottom style googly eyes!
NB. Safari may now work, thanks for all your valuable feedback!

Hosting fails!
06/22/2021 at 20:08 • 0 commentsWell so much for a free ride.... Turns out CloudFlare have a 20,000 file limit for their hosting which means only one sound collection can be used so looks like interface.dance will always be throttled :(
I am migrating interface.place to github which I am hoping fixes this issue! -

Hardware integration - RC Car
06/13/2021 at 11:12 • 0 commentsAs this is an experiment into the future of human-machine interactions, it is very important that the concepts can be used outside of the context of musical instruments.
Using the available everywhere web-MIDI, a simple adapter can be created that can then be patched into any other electronics.
I've been thinking about the best hardware to use as a demonstration and I think I've found it and will attempt to create a face controlled RC car!
If anybody has recommendations for cheap hackable cars please comment :)

Version 0.5 has gone live and offers a new DUET mode and some extra settings for improving performance.
