Holly Yon and I spent an afternoon experimenting with a few of the labs new sensors and
a french made midi interface board. We made two prototypes both of which made use of max/msp and a balloon.

- The first prototype took a pressure sensor attached to a plastic straw. When the user blows on the straw they see a balloon inflate on screen. it will then deflate as they reduce the air pressure.

-The second prototype made use of a flex sensor with and already inflated balloon attached at one end. The sensor output was linked up to the frame rate on a video clip of a balloon being blown across a room. As the user blew on the balloon the video would run and the on screen balloon would move forward accordingly.
