I don't like to cross post, but as long as the Philadelphia chapter is
yet-unborn, <br>
I figure I should mention that the NYC Dorkbot meeting season has begun
again. <br>
Very interesting stuff on the first Wednesday of every month at
Location One Gallery in SoHo.<br>
<br>
It's a good excuse for a trip to New York and, hey, thanks to the <br>
Chinatown bus, that'll only set you back $10!<br>

Featuring the convex and polytopic:
John Huntington: The Gravesend Inn--An Interactive Haunted Hotel
City Tech's Gravesend Inn is a high-tech, audience-driven haunted
attraction. 2007 marks the show's eight annual edition. The show control
system Medialon Manager gives control over the entire attraction to the
audience, which (unknowingly) triggers the effects as they move through
the maze. A variety of industrial sensors are currently used to sense
the position and location of audience members, and an infrastructure has
been created for more sophisticated sensing in the future. John, author
of the just released third edition of the book Control Systems for Live
Entertainment, will describe and demonstrate the show control systems he
designed for this attraction.

Spencer Russell: SensorBib
Spencer will be presenting his most recent project, the SensorBib.
SensorBib is a set of capacitive distance sensors embedded in a fabric
covering for an upright bass. A chopped-up Arduino board sends the data
to a laptop running PD which uses the player's body position to process
the bass sound in real time. The sensors themselves (called "MouseTrap")
are of Spencer's own design, and all the schematics and PCB layout files
are available on his website.

Robots, a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical
