This time I am in a team of five people.
The theme of our project is still embodiment, and we are brainstorming three ideas:
1. Hoodie circled with LEDs so the user may read in a dark place.
2. Sword-fighting game in which there are three sensors on each combatant's body, one on each sword, and one on the combatants' free hands. Should the sword touch the sensors on the body, the player who got "stabbed" would lose HP. However, should the player catch the sword with a free hand, then HP goes back up by 1. The speed and force with which the sword is thrust affects how much HP is lost.
3. A display installation/performance art piece where a dancer/performer wears gloves with accelerometers attached, and depending on the movement of accelerometers, a large suspended fabric would react in different ways. Wires would pull up/drop corners, or the middle of the fabric.
So far the team, myself included like our third idea the best, because it encompasses embodiment. The dancer's movements can affect the aesthetics of the art piece. Right now problems include, how to build the structure that holds the fabric. We'll see how this project goes!
