I found this from the Processing Blog. It is exactly what David Lo has done in the InfoBar project for the Hong Kong ACM SIGGRAPH exhibition, with the same augmented reality library. This piece is for the London College of Fashion graduation show.

Lumiloop is a modular system of program and display panels that can be chained together to form a reactive bracelet. Each display module features a small 8x8 LED matrix, dynamically driven by an interchangeable program module. Curent version of Lumiloop sports a program module with an accelerometer, which interprets gestural motions of the wrist and generates illuminated patterns in response.

Visual Voice Pro will create an immersive, reactive digital playspace perfect for your sensory room. The Visual Voice Pro installation comprises of a sensitive microphone, a computer with a data projector, and custom software written especially for the space. The microphone will listen to all the sounds in the room, from footsteps to laughter to singing or even banging a drum. The computer will then instantly process the sounds to create abstract, beautiful graphics that illuminate the wall via the projector. Different sounds will create different effects. Loud noises can create big effects, quiet noises can create subtle effects, high pitches or low pitches can create different effects.
