Check out this impressive real-time music visualization system. We already know that the Arduino is capable of pretty much anything your brain can fathom and then some, including this sweet DIY project that’ll turn any mundane stage band into a star-bound success. The amount of hardware that has gone into this visual output system is extensive but well worth it.

If you’re in a band but your stage act sucks and you want to get your foot in the door then you need to become like KISS. No, I don’t mean you need excessive pyrotechnics or fake blood to put on a great show. All you need is an Arduino, a Bluetooth adapter, a couple of webcams, a network card and piezo sensors. You’ll be off putting on shows that even GWAR would be jealous of.

External HDDs are about as varied as cloned sheep when it comes to their blocky form factor. Despite the fact that the IVY doesn’t do much for changing the all around shape of a HDD device, the concept does add in a really cool OLED display which creates a visualization of how the data on the device is being used.

Every time you add more data to the device, the display changes to update the visual partitioning of the IVY drive. — Andrew Dobrow
