Sonar and Sphere of Fear

It strikes me that with Dave’s new idea, and a few more sonar devices, we could run the handcar piece off a Basic stamp.

Katya was using a Basic Stamp and a Sonar device to control the light in her Echo piece - people approaching would activate the light sequence and you could see it echoing through the multiple layers of video feedback picture.

For the handcar, we could just have two sonar devices detecting the height of the two people (they would have to stand on footprints to position themselves correctly) and then use this to detect their up and down oscillations (acting out the handcar). Plug the stamp, running appropriate code, into a digital potentiometer and then you can control the speed of the projector!
