Hi Simon and Team,
I'm sorry I have not been to last few meetings but will aim for next
one.
I've being doing some experiments with SenseSurface, a method of
adding rotary knobs and other 3D controls to a normal laptop. www.girtonlabs.com
. It started as a hack (I had wondered for ages how to make an LCD
with a 3D surface) but I built it recently.

All is great fun so far and this morning I am looking at other
analogue 3D surfaces to add, sliders, switches, and a squeezy pressure
controller knob might be fun.
The controls are useful for MIDI musical instruments, video mixing,
aircraft flight sims or mouse replacement.
Let me know if any other controls might be good.

Hi Lyndsay,

Great stuff! As long as you have the spirograph and hungry hippo
attachment i'm happy.

A while back I found something (which just happened to come up in a
conversation again yesterday!) which is kind of fun: http://eis.comp.lancs.ac.uk/pin&play
. I think maybe suffers from reliability, but interesting.

Another thing to look at would be http://ap.hpl.hp.com/UbiPhysics/papers/ubiphysics_spinner_final.pdf.
Although not quite the same, it has a few different ideas in which
might be interesting...

Simon
