Over the past couple of days, there has been a lot of news circulating about security issues present in gadgets connected to the Internet of Things. Keeping that in mind, I'm cautiously continuing my experimentation with the Photon, trying to be mindful of the fact that there are privacy risks involved in transforming ordinary objects into smart objects.
Thinking about ways that music might contribute to the creation of an interactive book that I'm going to be creating, I started tinkering with the code from Spark Fun's Music Time tutorial that plays Rick Astley's song "Never Going to Give You Up." I tweaked the code by creating a new Particle function that only plays the music when the function is triggered by a web call. I used the Maker Channel on If Then Than That to trigger it and linked it to a QR code (see previous post).
Even though electronic buzzer music can be a little annoying, I'm thinking that it would be interesting if QR codes embedded into a book could trigger different tunes or sound effects to help advance a narrative.
