Music with Tesla Coil and Continuum Fingerboard High Powered LED Mood Lamp IEEE Lava lamps were all the rage back in the 60’s. This is a new and improved incarnation of an old novelty decorative item. A demonstration will be given of the color changing capabilities of the lamp, enabled through a programmed microcontroller that allows the user to control the LED color through outside switches. A complete set of colors is possible. Unlike most mood lights, Multitouch Computer Screen A system has been developed for producing musical tones from Tesla coils. The Continuum Fingerboard, invented by U of I professor Lippold Haken, is a musical instrument with real-time continuous control in three directions for every finger placed on the playing surface. The Tesla coil system and Continuum Fingerboard and will be featured in a concert of several short pieces, including one composed by U of I music composition professor Scott Wyatt and musician/Continuum performer Mark Smart for SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States). The coil and Continuum will be on display from 10am3pm Saturday only. Musical performances will happen Saturday at: 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00pm, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm. Location: 151 This exhibit is suitable for: All IEEE This 24x18 inch computer screen uses infrared light and a camera to detect multiple touch inputs. One can use it with more than one finger, and many users can interact at the same time. Demo applications include games and a fingerpaint program. This is an exciting project on image processing and human-computer interaction from the student chapter of the Insti- NASA Spinoff Game Illinois Space Society Over the years, technologies from NASA have trickled into mainstream life. Pick out the items that have come from NASA from an assortment of various things. Beware of items that have been mistakenly attributed to NASA. Location: 170 This exhibit is suitable for: Grade
