The ''Sensorium Project'' project was intitiated by ROBOTmaker to broadening the IRCF360 sensors audience beyond its typical robot sensor usage To demonstrate the BETA functionality, ROBOTmaker uses opensource Java based Integrated Development Environments (IDE) such as Arduino and Processing (programming language) and has released all the prototyping sketches on their website for advanced developers to expand the functionality and write their own Java interface apps. They also provide a low cost self-assembly PCB kit to allow developers to make a sensor and to reprogramme the embedded micro-controller with own firmware if desired. The sensor is based on ROBOTmaker's Infrared Control Freak 360 (IRCF360) which is a 360 degree proximity sensor and a motion sensing devices, developed by (ROBOTmaker. ) Their goal is to provide low costs configurable sensors & solutions for use within technical projects such as maker and Maker Faire type projects, micro robotic, kinetic art / art, crafts, engineering, science, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset and alternative music type of projects. == 360 degree sensor / 3D Motion sensor / HID device == During the development phase, it became apparent that the unique features of the 360 sensor also enabled it to be used as an independent 3D motion sensor for use within many other 3D computer applications. It is connected to a PC via the USB port. The device can be configured as a joystick, keyboard, mouse or midi device, for example in 3D applications, gaming applications and as an alternative Human interface device HID for people with disabilities - enabling a wide range of users to control and interact with the PC/MAC/Tablet/SmartPhone without the need to touch a game controller or screen, using a more natural user interface through finger gestures. It works also well together with Windows7 and the voice recognition or together with other HID devices to reduce non-value added mouse movements. Examples of use are: * Single or Multi Touch(-less) control * *e.g. control of device behind window * 3D HID device for computer gaming * 3D Multi-touch control * 3D graphics and CAD viewing * Gestural Control of Music e.g. ref (Interactive Systems and Instrument Design in Music (ISIDM) ) * 360 sensor for Kinetic artists Kinetic art * 360 sensor for moving parts/arms * 360 degree positioning within medium bore pipes * Alternative input device for people with disabilities A project named Sensorium Project was started aimed at broadening the Sensors audience beyond its typical robot sensor usage.
