Professor: Christof Neugebauer, Austria

I use the I-CubeX Digitizer for many research purposes in my classes. The device is in constant operation and is pretty much worn out. There are many uses for it in lessons, pedagogy and therapy. The 'ultimate MIDI controller' is always in the center of attention. Schools in Austria and abroad show great interest in this area, ie. using the I-CubeX in a curriculum. The I-CubeX is an important device for future lesson development. I discovered that after many tests in lessons. I'm enthusiastic about finishing my work in this field and have already been invited to take part in a teacher training to instruct teachers.

We have used the I-CubeX in various student projects, such as:

'Drawing sound pendulum', which used reed relays as switches to detect drawing movements on a suspended drawing board for the generation of sounds.

In another project students made light guitars with photodiodes and a lamp mounted on a piece of wood. Interrupting the light resulted in the onset of a sound.

'Soundmouse' involved sensors for skin contact, light barriers, and the switches already present in a regular computer mouse - all hooked up to the I-CubeX Digitizer to generate sounds.
