Puppet Long Underwear

Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU 2000

Project Description: This is a glove that senses hand movement and controls a puppet over a live Internet broadcast.� A microphone input is also used to control the puppet.� The puppet control information is delayed and synchronized with the live video stream.�

This was inspired by the work of Sarah Teitler & Jade Jossen.

Technical Notes: I used flex sensors connected to a Basic stamp to sense the hand movements and Geoff Smith's Director Xtra for sensing the microphone volume.� I programmed both the broadcasting module and the client module in Macromedia Director/Lingo outputting to Shockwave.� I used the Multi-User Server for synchronous networking and the Sorenson Broadcaster for the live streaming video.
