Abstract
An interactive and reprogrammable musical yo-yo system is designed. The aim of it is to demonstrate the feasibility of converting any sensor-enabled objects into potential musical instruments. This involves three design phases. First, the physical yo-yo is designed to house Iris sensors. The software is developed to sense the movement of yo-yo and transmit its measurements to Max/MSP for corresponding music generation. Finally, aurally pleasing and real-time musical sounds are designed and generated in effect of yo-yo by the computer music composer.
