Color Sensor is a complex marriage of sensors and sound.

The concept of Color Sensor came from Parallel studios as an exploration into new and unique ways of interaction between environment, and sound. When used, the device will recognize a color, and map it to a sound then playing it. To achieve this, the devices sensors will “read” a color, send it wirelessly to a control computer, which will then map it to a sound. The computer then sends this info back to the device, which then displays the color through the devices onboard lights.

The device is entirely custom designed by Keanu, including the industrial design of the chassis and housing, wiring, electronics, and programming.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
