My co-worker, and web dev ninja, Stacey Mulcahy (@bitchwhocodes) put together a great series of blog posts on how to use Spacebrew ( a web sockets solution built on Node that enables you to create interactive spaces with several clients ) with Unity3d and Arduino & Processing. This is the beginning / start of next week’s bit where she shows how to build your own DDR mat  and hook it into Unity3d,  Arduino, and Processing.

And straight from the source:

This tutorial basically shows you how to send and receive messages to and from Unity – to and from an Arduino that has a simple circuit that will blink an LED. It goes through a) installing a spacebrew server locally, b) hooking Unity to use it with the sdk, c) the Arduino circuit and Processing code and d) connecting them all.
