Prototype v2.0 demonstration at Lifestyle Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Symposium, Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney, November 2014. The prototype consists of a pressure-sensitive surface, with a responsive sound generated when people walk on the surface. The sound engine is built using Ableton Live and Max for Live. This enables all kinds of sensor to sound mappings and a wide diversity of sounds to be generated.
