Info: Open Jam was created for the Interactive Technology Design course at the TU Delft. The wall, situated in the train station, pulls passersby out of their daily routine by generating music. This is done by raising the volume of a unique instrumental track of a song, linked to one of the five vertical segments, based on the passer-by's place and distance. Alone, one can only trigger one track at a time, but together a full music piece can be unveiled.
This project was my first introduction to the Cycling '74 Max software. First, I set up a patch for reading the proximity sensors' analogue values through Arduino. I then converted these values in order to link them to the audio levels of the instrumental tracks. Also, a gradual volume change based on the user's distance was accomplished with a simple algorithm.
