Arduino qlab osc11/28/2023 The box was originally made by Brandon Goberdhansingh, as the first prop. If the Hula Hoop is being interacted with simultaneously as the Horn, the Horn then becomes a “car horn”. When squeezed, Qlab turns off any lights that were currently on. The Horn uses a bidirectional flex sensor attached to the rubber bulb. There are also long wires on some of the props because I wanted to ensure I have extra space to move the placement of sensors if need be. In future work we will ask actors if there needs to be any design changes to the props. At the present stage of our study, it is more important to give the actors a choice between as many props as possible than to have a really robust and aesthetically pleasing prop. Audience members already suspend their disbelief, so a tacky looking prop that is held together with tape holds the same creative potential as one with a robust design. Unlike musical instruments, theatre props do not necessarily need to be aesthetically pleasing. All of the props, with exception of the Box, have a 3D printed case of the Arduino and lipo battery. Once the interface was finalized, the user does not necessarily need to understand how to program or code in order to operate it. Max MSP was chosen over other programming languages because of its features to make an intuitive user interface and standalone application. There are also delays setup to prevent excessive triggers from the same gesture, within a set timeframe between 0-8000 milliseconds. Within Max MSP, the data is averaged, and thresholds are placed to trigger OSC strings that are appropriate for Qlab. There are 6 props in total. Each of the props are using the Arduino MKR1000 to send their sensor data wirelessly via OSC to Max MSP. In terms of input, the chain of data is as follows:Īctor => Sensors => Arduino MKR1000 => Computer Running Max MSP Client Patch (or the standalone application) => Qlab => hardware for the lighting and speakers in the theatre. These props are to be used by actors to control the theatre lights and sound in real time. Tauran's role was to setup the lights in the theatre and make a Qlab project to trigger them and the sound. My role in the project was to make the props and the computer interface. So once the actor understands how the prop works, its mappings are consistent and is always available to the actor.
