Mouse and DJ Turntable
This is main system for interactive performance. I use a mechanical mouse. It can be used in combination with other system. It is a useful device and has a very simple motion system. The mouse on the left turntable is y-axis.The mouse on the right turntable is x-axis.
Turntable and Mouse
The ball mouse has two freely rotating rollers. They are located 90 degrees apart. One roller detects the forward–backward motion of the mouse and other the left–right motion. Opposite the two rollers is a third one (white, in the photo, at 45 degrees) that is spring loaded to push the ball against the other two rollers. Each roller is on the same shaft as an encoder wheel that has slotted edges; the slots interrupt infrared light beams to generate electrical pulses that represent wheel movement. Each wheel's disc, however, has a pair of light beams, located so that a given beam becomes interrupted, or again starts to pass light freely, when the other beam of the pair is about halfway between changes.
The data of mouse position is used to operating a actuator. Example these are servo motor and vibration motor and stepping motor. In this final project, The servo motor is used to making a movement.
An actuator is a type of motor that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. It is operated by a source of energy, typically electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure, or pneumatic pressure, and converts that energy into motion. An actuator is the mechanism by which a control system acts upon an environment. The control system can be simple (a fixed mechanical or electronic system), software-based (e.g. a printer driver, robot control system), a human, or any other input.

I test a movement of mouse using a adobe illustrator. A Mouse works well for this.
