Technologist Ellen Sundh has documented some simple yet interesting interfacing between an Arduino measuring flexible force sensors, a computer runnning Processing and Unity. In doing so she has created a bridge between the physical and the virtual - by means of making a squeezable cube containing the force sensor. The Arduino then measures the sensor and sends the data back to the PC for processing and Unity - which visually represents the cube in real-time. For example:

Thinking of embedding an Arduino-compatible board in your next project? Consider using the Freetronics LeoStick:
Apart from being one of the smallest Arduino-compatibles on the market with USB, it also has an onboard RGB LED and piezo which can be used a knock sensor and various tune and sound effects. Plus you can add extra circuitry with the matching protostick! For more information and to order, click here.

Hello, the link to Ellen’s page isn’t working for some reason.
Where else can I find the tutorial to the unity arduino processing video?
