	John Huntington: The Gravesend Inn–An Interactive Haunted HotelCity Tech’s Gravesend Inn is a high-tech, audience-driven haunted attraction. 2007 marks the show’s eight annual edition. The show control system Medialon Manager gives control over the entire attraction to the audience, which (unknowingly) triggers the effects as they move through the maze. A variety of industrial sensors are currently used to sense the position and location of audience members, and an infrastructure has been created for more sophisticated sensing in the future. John, author of the just released third edition of the book Control Systems for Live Entertainment, will describe and demonstrate the show control systems he designed for this attraction.http://www.gravesendinn.org
	Spencer Russell: SensorBibSpencer will be presenting his most recent project, the SensorBib. SensorBib is a set of capacitive distance sensors embedded in a fabric covering for an upright bass. A chopped-up Arduino board sends the data to a laptop running PD which uses the player’s body position to process the bass sound in real time. The sensors themselves (called “MouseTrap”) are of Spencer’s own design, and all the schematics and PCB layout files are available on his website.http://www.columbia.edu/~sfr2105
