Real time sound virtual environment

Hi guys, I'm working on a project that I need to have a start button, which can trigger both a video to play and operating of some simple mechanisms simultaneously.
For example, OccultUs ECAL/Simon de Diesbach

I'm lost on how to create the start button that can trigger both actions simultaneously. Need assistance urgently here. Thank you in advance.

go to tutorial/ reference section - digitalRead() - Arduino Reference - for reading a button.

As the video and Audio is probably controlled on a PC so you send the state of the button over Serial to the PC.

should get you started.
