Intro Kit Activity

Presentation Prep (Skipped in presentation mode)

1. Knocking motion with Sensor 2 (Y axis)
2. Conduct motion (infinity) to conduct (Z-axis)
3. Try to use both in same beats

Sensor 2

Sensor 1

What is it?

What can you do with it?

How does it work?

​

Let’s see!

WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

Using the Sensor Axis

Accelerometer Mode

NEWMT Apps use the sensor’s axis, which work along the:

X Axis

Y Axis

Z Axis

​

​

Let’s see the axis in real life!

Let’s Try it out!

Can you find the best way to get sound out of each axis?

That did WHAT now?

Sonic Introduction - Tap

Test your sound

Control the volume of the sounds. As the ear grows, Tap gets louder

Once the dark purple bar crosses the arrow your chosen sound is activated

The dark purple bar shows your connected sensors movement

The inner area is the range of Accelerometer Mode and the light purple outer range is the additional range when in Gyroscope mode

Change which sound plays when Tap is activated.

Connect Tap to one of three sensors.

Sonic Introduction - Loop

Test your sound

Control the volume of the sounds. As the ear grows, Loop gets louder

Turning up the sensitivity increases the range of motion of Loop

The dark purple bar shows your connected sensors movement

As you move your sensor away from its neutral position the looping sound will increase in loudness allowing you to bring your loop in and out

Change which sound repeats when Loop is activated.

Connect Loop to one of three sensors.

In pairs, use the Sonic Introduction app and your sensors to create a human drum set!

Expectations:

• Motion should activate the sound
• Drum set sounds match the motion
• Drum sounds make sense together
• (think themes, stories, or other similarities)
• Use more than one body part (or body!)
