Stephan Schulz describes how Antimodular Research of Montréal, Québec uses Shiny Devices to help art collectors and museum staff control computerized "Shadow Box" installations such as The Company of Colours, Make Out, and Blow Up:

We use your device to send a keystroke to the running software, which in turn turns the computer off.

There's lots more cool exhibits to see at www.lozano-hemmer.com and on the Antimodular YouTube channel.

More Settings

Did you know that your Keystroke Pedal can automatically type a whole paragraph or sequence of keys? Or that you can prevent "auto-repeat" by asking your pedal to release your chosen key immediately, no matter how long you hold your foot down?

These features aren't new, but our newly revised settings page makes them more consistent and reliable. It also gives more examples.

Thanks to customer Brian Lister of Metairie, Louisiana for pointing out a problem with the previous settings page and finding a way to work around it.

Our products should do exactly what you expect, every time. If they don't, contact us so we can improve.
