The document discusses two projects involving motion sensing technology: 1) The SoMo by Sonic Wear, which generates MIDI sound through motion using an accelerometer and gyroscope with wireless data transmission. It is programmable and its website is listed. 2) An adaptation of the SoMo into a gaming glove, which was reprogrammed to use the accelerometer to determine orientation. It includes conductive fabric for a fire button and uses XBee radios in reflection mode.
