Application examples

1. Combine it with a Switch and control your appliances with sound.
2. Put it in a neighbouring room to act as a burglar alarm.
3. Have it listen to music, or even react to the same sounds it's being used to make.
4. Put it right near your mouth and use it as a voice activated controller.

Software support		Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor.
