Opening stuff

Hallo!

I'm way behind on this than I should so I'll make a couple posts to recap.

The general idea for the project is to create an interactable wearable with the objective of making a performance piece in which a person is in the middle of a room, and interacting with them changes a projection behind them, the sounds and music of the stage and/or the outfit's characteristics. 

Because there are 1500 people working in this project together, I've been in charge of different things. so next post is gonna be the information that I got from researching sensors for implementing into fabric.

Next I worked a little on helping with trying to put together a structure for recognizing the performer's motion without necessarily detecting other spectators into the capture. We checked mocap as well as kinect but my role was checking connectivity. Basically if we want to make projections or animations we need to feed position information into Unity, Unreal, TouchDesigner or whatever additional software we want to use. and whatever platform we end up using I gotta make sure that it can send MIDI signals to VCV, assuming VCV ends up being the thing we use for music, if not I'll have to develop a different environmental audio tool which is ... neat.
