NDLI: Twining: a demonstration in wearable computing

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Sharir, Yacov Layne, Barbara
Abstract	Barbara Layne and Yacov Sharir will introduce their first collaborative project, Twining. The presentation will discuss wearable computing devices and the intersection of their individual research in dance/choreography and the textile arts. A demonstration of their new wearable interactive system will show how this device can affect onstage interaction and offer new communication possibilities with the audience.Wearable interactive devices are often subsumed into the personal space of the user or placed in a desired location where the performer can activate them as needed. They possess operational command systems when placed on the physical body of the user/performer and interactional constancy when used in performance: they are always on and always accessible. These devices have become an integral part and extension of the user body and operate in and around a communications "area".
