Easy-to-use controllers include the built-in laptop inputs (see http://smelt.cs.princeton.edu), the Wiimote (OSCulator is recommended if you're on a Mac), or joysticks (we have some you can borrow).
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control OpenSoundControl] is a good tool for patching together code in different environments, e.g. if you want to use Smelt to capture motion sensor input and send it to pd, or if you want a ChucK program to receive Wiimote messages from OSCulator.

Then, there's the Osculator (2013) installation, which faces a large screen against a five-paneled acoustic parabola receptor.
You can then either read-in these messages directly in Processing or route them through Osculator for more calculated results.
The continuous motion of the pens also yielded a dynamic visual projection, as the movements were tracked by a Wiimote via OSCulator which analyzes the motion data and transmit it to MaxMSP.
He uses the OSCulator along with TuioKinect a hand gesture tracker for Kinect and openFrameworks to turn the Kinect into a live visual performance tool, creating gesture controlled graphics to accompany the sounds in real time.
