Magical Bodies: Wearable Technology & the hipDisk
"... hipDisk is designed to inspire people to swing their hips and explore and extend the full range of movement available to them through a simultaneous, interdependent exploration of sound. In creating hipDisk, the interest was to move beyond limb- and digit-triggered switches and explore full-body movement for actuation. ..." [0]
Basement at 1200 I went to Magical bodies by Danielle. Fantastic stuff. The key bits for me was tell by showing. Looking at the hipDisk it looks deceptively simple, switches, arduino and speakers in a frame. But it's not. Read the hipDisk description to how movement can emit sound. Hearing movement is pretty interesting.
Wonder if you could build something to teach Kung Fu by sound?
The most impressive thing was the enthusiasm and humility of the speaker. A federally funded scholar who works hard to hack stuff. It's a shame we don't encourage more hackers like this in Australia.
