IDEA

To create a device that can be picked up and turned around, in doing so the devices movement will control the audio being played through a bespoke app that is linked to the device. This will be a prototype for selling the idea to a client.

CHALLENGES

To find a bluetooth device with built in gyroscope. To create an physical object that can have the bluetooth device embedded into it. Build an app that can link to the bluetooth device and then use the gyroscopic data to control the audio being played through the app,

SOLUTION

Use a Texas instruments bluetooth testing circuit board which has multiple sensors on board including gyroscopic and accelerometers. Link this to a web based app built in Cordova. This software lets you access the bluetooth data and can be interpreted into Javascript code to control a simple HTML5 web app that plays music.

TECHNOLOGIES USED

Cordova, Texas Instruments Bluetooth Circuit Board, HTML5, Javascript
