Puppeteer Motion-Capture Costume

Step 10 NEXT STEPS

The next steps include sensor development independently from creating the next Puppeteer suit.
Other ideas to explore include adding a kind of array of sensors to one costume, the idea being that if we have enough sensors we would be able to track poses and motion sequences that were unique because all the sensors could only ever be in a certain state if a certain pose or motion were being made.

Since the costume is tailored to fit a certain individual body size, the outcome of these projects has been specifically performance based. We are interested in expanding the design of the costume and creating things that can be worn and experienced by all. Here the planning of a modular system might make sense.

So far the Puppeteer sensors focus mainly on the bend of the joints of the human body, but we are interested in detecting other, subtler motions.

Aspects such as comfort, washability, durability and even sustainability (which is something we have not yet included) are things that we would like to continue to address in future.
