Gainer is an environment for user interfaces and media installations. By using the Gainer environment, the user can handle sensors and/or actuators with a PC on various programming environments such as Flash, Max/MSP, Processing and so on. The basic concepts are:

• The user can use it for creative work from prototype stage to final output stage.
• Using a breadboard allows the user to learn by mistake.
• The user can build their own I/O module from components.
• The user can choose a configuration from various configurations (software and hardware).
• Open source software and hardware.

In the Gainer environment, “open source” means:

• The user can use the Gainer environment for free.
• Advanced users can freely modify existing hardware and/or software to create a new model for their project.

The Gainer environment consists of the following components:

• Hardware (i.e. Gainer I/O module) >> more information
• Software (i.e. drivers and libraries) >> more information
• Documents (i.e. tutorials and cookbooks) >> more information
