Overview
An exploration of haptic interaction as a data source: multiple sensors integrated with self-designed wearable hardware generate serial data that drives digital media in TouchDesigner in real time.



Methodology
- Workflow: sensor inputs → serial data stream → TouchDesigner media control
- Custom wearable hardware designed and fabricated for the interaction
- Communication protocol tuning between sensor array and media environment
