Colour tracking testing with five “movers”
An example of the colour tracking algorithms being tested with five people. Skeletons identified by colour — example shows loss (due to occlusion) and reacquisition of individual skeletons.

Stitch patterns with conductive/resistive thread
Working with Nancy Knaggs and Thom Bellaire at BCIT to test different stitching patterns for use with the RUBS suits. Danielle Lee is shown evaluating patterns and textures.

New Boards and two-way communication
Adding the ESP32 family to the TASTE project, developing two-way communication in order to read RUBS data while reconfiguring the system on the fly, and adding the ability to control addressable LEDs and fibre optics.

Colour tracking with changing skeletons
Testing to see how the colour tracking works in recognizing colours: skeletal colours are changed to indicate colour identification.

Testing Colour Tracking for TaSTE
Colour tracking testing showing studio with coloured teeshirts, KiCASS tracking system, and CHIMIRA colour tracking system.
Closeup of CHIMIRA dealing with occlusion and changing locations.
Example of skeletal confusion: bodies “steal” or exchange skeletons in performance. We hope to overcome this problem by using coordinated colour tracking.
