Virtual Ouija

Hello,
I wanted to share my latest piece with the community. It is a ouija puck that floats over a virtual ouija board. The piece just sits there till someone touches it. Once someone moves it, the thing comes to life. Depending on which way it is moving it has various colored gound effects. The LCD in the lense shows what place on the ouija board you are over. The screen scrolls as you move. I have posted the code. If I can find some time, I will post a schematic as well.

Here is the finished site:

El-wire comes from here:
Its popular for lighting yourself at burningman
www.coolneon.com

I hope you all like it.

Joe

    That's pretty cool.... what is the (EL glow tube?) spiral for? Does it light up the display or does it provide ambient light under it? Does it quickly cycle through the colors or is it a certain color for a certain "function"?

    Checking your website, did the idea come to you, umm, 'after' theMask? (Perhaps you could do a project writeup on that if THAT'S stamp enabled....)
