The aim of the workshop is to introduce the concepts that are the basis of open source programming environment (Linux) applied to the realization of interactive applications such as video games, facilities, etc. …

Specifically, will be illustrated all the steps necessary to develop an interactive installation at low cost, thanks to the combined use of free software (Linux,C,OpenGL,SDL) and recycled materials such as old PCs, the implementation of a capacitive controller consists of low cost discrete components and techniques to easily make the PCB for the controller.

The entire application will use a board Raspberry Pi as a platform which will be illustrated with its operation and features.
It is preferable, but not necessary, a prior knowledge on the basics of programming (C language) and of the basic principles of electronics, the complexity of the course will adapt to the type and the skills of the audience.
