Ghost Music Prototype Iteration
Here is a prototype triangle for my Ghost Music Prototypes to date. As you can no doubt see, my prototypes to date have fallen very strongly in the implementation quadrant, and I am definitely planning on spending the next few rounds of iteration focusing more extensively on the look and feel of the project. Early user feedback has confirmed the need to work on this area of development, as to a person everyone who has played the glove has claimed that it works very well, but it is neither as cool nor as silly as they thought the experience would be when I first explained it to them.

Great suggestions all!
So to recap – Chris suggested actually using the trumpet mechanics to make this work, by putting the sensor at the end of the process and actually changing the over all pressure using the buttons as valves. I think this is a very interesting suggestion and one I hadn’t thought about yet. I think in the end this isn’t the direction I want to go, as the overall feedback has been MORE pantomime not less, but great avenue of thinking.
Lief suggested two things – one, going back to flex sensors, this time using an enclosure; two, using a guitar string being stretched on the back of the hand as the flex sensor. Both things I’ll explore.
Hilal – as you mentioned i should definitely get in touch with cecilia again to discuss!
Finally, great suggestion on the tilt sensor Yuri! I will be getting my hands on all of these asap so that I will hopefully have version 2 ready to go next monday!
