Drum Petal

Brief

Brief

This Arduino piece would use a flex sensor as the main interaction input and would have sound and servos as an output. The idea is to have a large fake plant with each leaf having its own unique assigned musical sound. Depending on how far the leaf sensors are displaced the more intense/louder it will be and in turn control a servo motor in the flowers in the top to make them “react”.

Backstory

This idea is heavily inspired by one of my professor’s game studio projects, “Mysteria”. In the game you find natural elements and crystals that make music and I thought a physical playable plant would be pretty engaging.
