The physical interface for the instrument, including the bluetooth module (the wee box on the top right of it).

Screenshots of 'mini-instruments' designed to investigate audio-visual mappings, all controlled with either the mouse or a MIDI fader box (via MouseToOSC). I'm afraid still shots don't really do them justice, since they're all about motion.

The current prototype physical interface, built by Tom. The small circular things marked L1, L2, R1 and R2 are force sensors. It also has potentiometers to sense how far the two ends are pulled apart, and rotated, as well as a 3-axis accelerometer, so we can get 3d positional information:
