Abstract
Bimba is an exploration into designing playful interfaces which use embedded sensors to sonify object interactions. The system wirelessly collects data from sensors integrated into foam balls and generates a sound composition extracting the most relevant features of movement. We have designed and built a collection of sensor units, implemented a protocol to support a wireless real- time data network infrastructure, and proposed a sonification mapping for the generated output. The implementation of Bimba informs design possibilities for creative and expressive interfaces, with particular focus on those generating sound.
