Dear Carol I think this would be of interest to you, a sensorsystem designed for disabled people that is made to make music, but you can design visuals with it as well ( working with MAX/MSP ) or light shows. http://www.soundbeam.co.uk/ More possibilities for interactive systems : http://www.interaccess.org/arg/sensebus/sb-tech.html http://www.motionanalysis.com/applications/movement/gait/falconsystem.html http://www.vicon.com/main/technology/system_medicine.html http://www.troikaranch.org/technology2.html Especially for making music with MIDI http://www.synthzone.com/ctrlr.htm Hope this helps, there are much more motion sensors available that work with cameras for example, but these are I think the most suitable for blind people .......
