BlueBallSensors

real-time continuous embodied feedback for 2-dimensional prompts

The BlueBallSensors are custom handheld interfaces that translate continuous pressure. I designed them as a measure for engagement in life performance that is real-time, deliberate and from the body.

Previous use cases included
