One of my favorite things at CHI 2012 was the Interactivity sessions. I especially liked the Urban Musical Game, played with musical sports balls. I didn't want to stop playing!
This just might transform P.E. and recess.
Below is a version of the game from 2011 created for the Future en Seine festival by the Real-Time Musical Interaction team at the IRCAM, in collaboration with NoDesign, Phonotonic, and composer Andrea Cera:
The balls in the game contain wireless sensors, which trigger sounds and interactive music. It is supported by MO (Modular Musical Object) technology, and Max/MSP. Below is a video of the balls in action (in French).

Comment:
This would be a great activity for the large therapy room at Wolfe, a program for students with significant disabilities (including autism), where I spend most of my work days as a school psychologist. I'd love to have it demonstrated in-person for students at the CATA (Central Academy of Technology & Arts), the high school I also serve, to inspire students about the creative aspects of technology.
I would also like to create my experiments with this sort of technology, based on a number of interesting ideas that have popped up in my mind over the past decade or so. I'm especially curious to know how this could work in environments that also have multiple large interactive visual displays....
How can I make it so?
(Update: It is a small world. I looked up one of the people involved in the Urban Musical Game on Facebook and found that we share three mutual FB "friends".)
