This is an artistic project initiated by Jordan, in memory of his wife. The picture above is of an interactive sculpture. As an observer gets closer to this artifact, a proximity sensor detects the presence and, depending on the distance, 2 bright LEDs lights start pulsating and a heart beating sound is played. The sound and the LEDs are synchronized, and the closer the observer gets to the artifact, the higher the frequency of the heart beat sound and the faster the LEDs pulsate. 

Technically speaking, this project is about Integrating a proximity sensor, a speaker and LEDs using a Teensy microcontroller board and a prop shield capable of driving LEDs and of amplifying sound. 

There are no tangible incentives to contribute to this project.

Anyone can remix whatever is developed here.
