ISIDM Internet directory: Interface design
From SensorWiki
Here's the first version of the set of links to interface design. It includes general reference links to papers, web pages, etc., a detailed set of analog-to-MIDI interfaces, a preliminary list of gestural controllers and few links to companies, institutes, etc.
