Audio inter-action with motion

Title
Waving aural - Midi Theremin based project, solfege

Problem Identification
Explore on how motion act in real space using ever-present technology around the community of end-user. Surrounding the action with some gimmick, users just need to pass-by in front of the sensor and strively the signal will detected the motion and transmitting the data to the component. The component will process the order and fabricate the midi sound. The more sound will be attached by detecting a motion/action from user.

Proposal
Creating a simple musical instrument that uses a range sensor to trigger sound samples. Players can create musical sounds capes by moving in front of the range sensor, which maps pitch to distance. This project was created using an Arduino board with a PING ultrasonic sensor as receiver and transmitted the signal to and audio library, which is particularly the ideation at the moment is to connect with the Minim sound library convert using Reason/Soundforge/Soundwave in processing the midi output sound. The output from the midi sound will be processed and converted into a visual play using a suitable application.

Motivation
Indirectly intend to create an active visual of solfege's art and combine it into an interactive way by enhanced the visual play with sensory value. So it will eventually creating a fun style to learn and play the art itself.

Motivation
Create a micro controller board that will receive and transmit a sensor for input and will deliver a visual with audio as the output. A bit of programming and basic electronic fundamental need to be learned. A research on solfege and ultrasonic sensor will give some idea to develop the platform.
