Concept idea

- Thinking about an external input we were thinking first to use our voices as an input like the change in the decibels every time you speak into a mic. but after several trials it was better to take another direction so we decided to take the acceleration data from a mobile device and do something with that.

In our case we took the path to manipulate the acceleration values in X, Y and Z axis as if we were Hornets, so with that in mind we tried to develop an sound output that was loud and annoying like when a hornet pass by flying and also generate a swarm and chaotic visual output.
