  • Botanicus Interacticus sliding gesture
    Singing flowers used to live only in the fanciful realm of cartoons, but like something out of Alice in Wonderland, <strong></strong> presents "Botanicus Interacticus", an interactive music game that uses a houseplant as controller. Simply sink a single wire into the soil and the system turns any plant into an interface - users can touch any part of the plant, or be in proximity. Using the same technology found in smartphone and touch-screen monitors, the game can detect where and how the plant is being manipulated, and change the frequency of the sounds it produces.
