Hey there!
Arduino meets Touch: Success!
We've been busy with work. Nikki, Onur and Kristina experimented, and actually got the Touch Sensor to work with Arduino on a Mac. Hopefully, Arduino will be working with Flash, so we are are probably going to do a little Wizard of OZ prototype with a bunch of people touching objects and some (secretely operated) sliders to control our demo application.

3 Dimensions
I'm currently thinking about the three dimensions that are used in influencing the room, and how they relate to each other: Roughness, Softness and Temperature. They are arranged in three pairs, to change various aspects of the room.
Roughness and Softness => Symbolic Association (like Harmony, Peace, Evolution, ...)
Roughness and Temperature => Music (from calm & slow to rough & fast)
Softness and Temperature => Atmosphere (like colors, lighting, maybe even some imagery)
Premise / Philosophy
I also was thinking about a kind of premise behind our project. What story do we want to tell? Since our project is focused on touching objects and thereby influencing the surrounding, the three points of our premise are thus:
1) You may influence the world with your own two hands.
2) Everyone can influence the world, because we are not alone in the world. You can interact with other visitors.
3) Since you don't know what to expect beforehand, you will have to learn through your own experience.
Looking forward to quite some interesting work to do!

I like the premise of "Everyone can influence the world, because we are not alone in the world. You can interact with other visitors." a lot!
Btw, when creating three axis, aren't "roughness" and "softness" on one axis? The second then is "temperature", so what is the third? :)
Hey there!
Thanks for your support and input. Just to clear things up, here are the three Dimensions used.
Roughness: Rough <---> Smooth
Softness: Soft <-------> Hard
Temperature: Hot <----> Cold
Hope this helped clearing things up :)
Okay :)
