Uses the serial input from arduino to change the gallery from which photos are to be displayed. Each gallery has three images that are visible when the user is at three different distances from the sensor. The gallery can be changed by pressing the piezo sensors.

Arduino code serial prints the distance that the ultrasonic measures at quick intervals along two specific numbers - 1000 & 2000 which indicate piezo button pressed.
