Biomechanics Project Ideas

Dance Visualization
A processing based visualization of dance, possibly tap-specific. Piezo sensors could be used to measure footfalls.

Musical Dance Interface
An interface that allows users to create music by dancing. Possibly by allowing users to loop sounds created by rhythmically stepping on a sensor pad. The Kinect could also be used to measure movement and translate it to audio.

Exploring Hand-Centric Interfaces
I’d like to build an interface that takes advantage of the abilities of hands besides those currently required by computers and touch screens.
