Creating a “Daft Punk” Spectrum Visualizer
Creating a “Daft Punk” Spectrum Visualizer
Christopher Gerace
Revolutionary dance/electronic music group Daft Punk is iconic for their robotic appearance: both members always wore metal helmets in the public eye. For my Fab Play independent studio project, I designed and created a helmet that uses my voice to illuminate LEDs on the front visor. All of the technology for the project is housed on the helmet itself, featuring a microphone input, an Arduino running the code, and an extra board for other wire connections. This function-over-form first version of the project will be a great foundation on which I can polish the looks and improve the function in the future to include music-making capability.
