lists
minimum viable project
- 2 boxes - one tower and one platform with piezo contact mics and distance sensors.
- tower will have rectangles cut out of two faces so users can place arms through the tower. it will not have a top.
- piezos will be on each face of the tower and platform and will have pre-loaded samples. when struck, they will play those sounds.
- distance sensors will be on two faces of the tower and along top face of platform. they will connect to ambient noise that is altered by how close/far the user is from the sensor.
- speakers are outside of 2 boxes and are connected by wires.
desired output
- 3 boxes instead of 2. the next box will be a rectangular prism and in between the tower and platform in size and shape
- piezos and distance sensors would be a part of it as well.
- LED's would be introduced and would change based upon the body of the user in relation to the distance.
unlimited time
- each box is wholly self-contained with speakers, etc. so users can move them into new arrangements.
- more boxes, of course. total number is undetermined.
- spatial interaction between the boxes and the users would also influence the ambient noise.

steps needed for minimum viable project
1. create timeline for box completion and coding
2. prototype box, piezo interaction, and distance sensors - figure out crosstalk of piezos, etc.
3. write code on Max/MSP to get piezos to map to sound
4. design samples for piezo, ambient noise for distance sensors
5. build boxes
6. after piezos have been figured out, attach piezos to boxes
7. troubleshoot
8. work with distance sensors to write code in Arduino and Max/MSP
9. physically attach sensors
10. troubleshoot
11. paint boxes - color TBD
