With a somewhat steep learning curve, body hero is made to frustrate you but leave you wanting more
We used an Op amp with a Digital potentiometer as a variable resistance to control the volume of the music

The Project:
Our goal was to design an experience that caused users to think about how they interact with the world. We chose music as our stimulus and tried to extrapolate the act of tapping one's foot/hands to the music and creating a new way to listen to and participate with the music
The project basically plays a song, that causes the buttons straped to the user at strategic locations (where one would normally tap to the music) to vibrate in time with the beat. We chose 'Eye of the tiger' because of its universal appeal and simple rhythmic structure.
