Abstract: One or more programmable electronic interfaces made up of a tile, a sensor, or multiple tiles and/or sensors in a network communicate with a computational device to allow users to build programs to be played interactively on the interfaces. The interfaces can react to a user applying pressure to, contacting with the interface or otherwise triggering a sensor (such as motion, thermal, touch, pressure, or other detected interactions). The computational device provides a macro-scale interface of different types. The system communicates (either wirelessly or via a wired connection) with the computing device in order to send and receive information. The electronic interfaces can be tiles with interactive lights and/or sensors that can be programmed into games, designs, animations, light shows, musical instruments, dance routine steps, etc.
