Design Ideas 2 - Visual Mixer

This is our intitial idea for the project.We hope to have this on a table in the cafe. The fidgets we intend to use are touch sensors, vibration sensors, sliders, a joystick and a light sensor. We will use Actionscript 3.0 scripting to link the fidgets to the computer screen (which in reality would be the table in the cafe). When the fidgets are activated there will be 4 short animations which can be mixed visually because they will be able to overlap. The slider in the middle will alter the colour of all the animations. We will either make the animations opaque or just quite sparse so they will be able to mix smoothly.

The picture in the middle of this diagram is taken from this website:

It is made in a similar way to how we would like our first animation to look, although we would make it look more like smarties falling and put the circles in different colours and not have any text.
