Color Mixer with IR sensor and Fullcolor Led in the same Gummy Bear Box.
FullColor+IR Sensor Color Mixer from Hsiang Ju Hung on Vimeo.
Code is modified from the previous one. Because the output voltage from IR sensor is about from 0 to 3 instead of regular range of 0 to 5. So I tried to justify it to make RGB reach full 255.

By the way, yesterday I ran into an street installation made by Ted Southern in Dumbo. It is a sidewalk-attached interactive music maker ontrolled easily via an interface by the public. Basically the interface is just a box installed different tuners and sensors controlling two rows of speakers that have different sound quality from each other. So people passing by can play with it at ease without any instruction or guide. But the inconvenience about this project is that the artist has to screw and open the box to replace batteries (there are two 9 V)every few hours.
