FINAL PROJECT: Technical specs

This is the circuit for the accelerometer

The circuit for the Force resistors

Our first test of the sandals

After the rehearsal on Saturday We decided to change the output from music beats to a more textural sounds the sounds are: Stepping on leaves, stepping on twigs, water droplet, water splash and wind.

These sounds will be added to ambiance music that will be played in the background

FINAL PROJECT: Cont,

For the form of our final we decided to design a sandal like strap that can be worn over anybody's shoe. And within it there will be the sensors( accelerometer, force resistors) sewn on and input jacks for the arduino.

FINAL PROJECT: revised

Based on the feedback from our prof. we made several changes. In terms of our concept they said that we are putting too many things into one project i.e. the added hands, visuals etc.

for our new concept;

Go back to sketch 2 and think of how to make it good. We had a strong concept in our sketch 2. Extend our sketch 2 of 1 shoe to a pair of shoes. At the same time we must maintain and focus on the quality of motion that our project will create.We will extend but specifying the elements of our project.

FINAL PROJECT: Initial Concepts

We are extending our initial idea of transferring body movements and dance into music and visuals through a wearable circuit throughout the body, and a motion detecting camera. Sensors on the shoes transmit foot movement such as tapping and stepping into a drum beat, while placing the hands on different places on the body complete the music with instrumental loops. Also, the motion of the dancer is translated into visual expressions on a screen by a camera combined with MAX MSP motion detection. This forms a feedback loop between the dancer and the music and visuals he/she is creating:

The dancer creates movements -> the movements create music and visuals -> the music and visuals promote more movement and emotions from the dancer. -> The dancer creates movements...
