I'm back, inquisitive as always.
I want to create a project that uses several sensors to determine the distance between a common surface (wall) and its observers (people.)
The sensors must not create interference for each other. The data returned will be fed into digital potentiometers that will then be used to manipulate audio generators. The idea is to create a "wall of sound" that can be manipulated in real-time by the participating audience.
I would love to use lasers for this, but that would mean aiming radiation at the audience, plus I would have to design a very complex solution for detecting the reflected angles.
I could use supersonic sonar modules, but they would interfere with each other, as well as with the audio being emitted by the wall. Well, it's possible at any rate.
So, that leaves me with IR modules, right? If I'm wrong, let me know. Also, what would be the major hurdle in pulling off a design like this, aside from building all of the audio hardware from scratch?
That reminds me, I need to find plans for audio effects like Reverb, Echo, Flange, Overdrive, LFO, Panpot (using a digi pot, of course). So, if anyone knows a good schematics page...(audioguru?)
Thanks,
