We made one last prototype for the GSAPP Visual Studies/CAD show today (Friday the 22nd in the basement of Avery).
We simplified our code substantially to highlight the variable output (using PWM Arduino pins to power our super-bright LEDs) and sensitive proximity sensor you can get using the capacitive sensing circuitry. There are three foil sensors and three LEDS (a red, blue and green) which respond to your hand within about six inches of the prototype. This is all enclosed in a frame covered with white T-shirt cloth, creating a smooth glowing effect. When no one is interacting with the device, it blinks every 20 seconds to entice people passing by to play.
It's best in the dark.
