This project completed as my final project for both Physical Computing and Introduction to Computational Media at ITP.
Briefly, ping pong balls roll down 4 individual tracks, and are launched at the bottom by solenoids. The solenoids are triggered rhythmically by an Arduino.
The ping pong balls bounce sequentially onto carefully placed musical instruments. On the instruments are several piezo-electric transducers that send serial data to Processing, which responds with a visualization scheme projected from above.
Here's a video documentation of the project. Enjoy!

"Bounce Announce" Visualization Element
I've decided to take the Bounce Announce project and add visualization to it utilizing piezo sensors and processing. Every instrument will have a piezo trigger attached to it, that will be processed by Arduino and fed to a Processing visualization sketch.
On a projected backdrop, the effect should appear to be differently colored expanding concentric circles that originate from each impact point.
