Don't eat the interface
This is one of the stranger things we've seen lately. RPI student Kyle McDonald built an interface for a synthesizer using a laptop, a webcam and... Skittles.
Here's an earlier version of the setup, which controlled a beat sequencer. One of the problems with the first version, as noted by McDonald: "people like to eat Skittles."
There's more about McDonald's work -- including a tea cup theremin -- at The Approach.

Hey, I know Kyle! He's the nicest mad-scientist I've ever met ;)
