Concept

Explore synesthesia by associating certain body positions with visual hallucinations induced by photic stimulation.

SLIDE 4

Concept

Wearable sensors adjust the frequency of the flashes and thus provide various patterns.

SLIDE 5

Inspiration

William Gibson’s “Neuromancer”

protagonist uses electrodes/glasses to jack into cyberspace three-dimensional space visualized as colored geometric shapes

SLIDE 6

Inspiration

Kinesthetics

interest in sensing body movement as a system rather than as isolated and disjointed movements.

SLIDE 7

Topics

Proprioception Perception Kinesthetics Association Self

SLIDE 8

Iteration

Sound & Light Machine Visuals in support of audio sequence Expanding visual frequency range Using body movement Providing user direct control Independent eye frequencies

SLIDE 9

Research

Jan Purkinje Recorded patterns perceived looking at Sun Mitch Altman Brainwave Glasses Dominic H. ffytche “The hodology of hallucinations” Cortex, September 2008

SLIDE 10

Experience

LED glasses stimulate vision through eyelids. Flashes are often perceived as patterns. Patterns vary based on flashing frequency. Sensors affixed to sleeves affect frequency. Alter the experience by moving arms. Associate position with visual patterns.

SLIDE 11

SLIDE 12

Context

Solitary exploration Visual yet vision-diminished Closed eyes Seated Space for movement

SLIDE 13

Materials

Glasses with LED elements Accelerometers worn on arms Microcontroller / battery Soft switch for operation Snug garment

SLIDE 14

Challenges

Discomfort Controlling light intensity Generating meaningful interaction Photosensitive epilepsy Bucha effect

SLIDE 15

Successes

People are often eager to try them Strong favorable reaction Most participants report visualization Generally pleasant sensation Seem absorbed by experience

SLIDE 17

Exploration

Other sensors / movement Utilize gesture Expressiveness in lights Frequency shift events Experiment with audio
