Just after shooting of my earlier mail, I saw this talk on TED:

Skip to around 7m10s for an interesting use of sound for interaction.

My daughter once created a project to pilot an airplane using voice and tried 
it successfully with some neighborhood kids. However, it was too much for a 
small home to bear :-(. Anyway she did have lots of fun programming it.
