So far, we have begun researching into how exactly we could improve on RUBS to be function wirelessly. We have been comparing various wireless modules that could be appropriate for the data transfer to Max/MSP, as well as looking at each module’s power consumption to determine what batteries and changes in circuitry we might need.

Here is a video presentation outlining our findings so far and our plan of action for the next couple of weeks 🙂

The RUBS project has added four Engineering students working on a capstone project. The students are:
Carol Fu, Jin Han, Lily Shao, and Esther Mutinda

They will be developing (among other things) a wireless system for the RUBS and investigating alternative sensors for the suits. They are especially pleased to be part of the project because we have cookies. And do cool things with dancers and music technology people.
