After talking to the professors with our idea last week, we knew we would have to refine our concept. In order for us to all get on the same page with something we would want to work on for the rest of the semester, we met up at Sweet Eugene's. The result was that we now have an idea that I think we are all very excited about and that the professors will get on board with.
We have decided to interpret the "play" theme by having the dancer play music for the audience. There will be around six Arduino sensors on the dancer's body, each controlling different aspects of the music. The important thing is that all of these sensors capture a range of inputs so that the quality of the dancer's movement is what changes the music, as opposed to a binary control of the music. The focus will be on the music, so the visual part of this project will be a minimal effect, which will allow the audience to focus on the connection between the dance and the tune. In order to have audience participation and to help with their understanding of the mappings between the sensors and the auditory output, we will have a duplicate set of sensors that can be played around with when the performance is complete.
