A wearable performance tool, dubbed The Cortex (to symbolize the central node of operations), designed for live manipulation of music and visuals through sensor-based interactions.
- I will incorporate an accelerometer to detect head movement and orientation, alongside capacitive touch sensors to detect touch interactions. The hat will be lined with programmable LED strips for visual enhancement.
- The hat will also function as a controller for manipulating visuals and audio in p5.js, translating physical movements and touch into real-time responses.
My inspiration was solidified by a tutorial on ADA fruits website - Build the Hat, a sound reactive LED hat.
I have been ideating this from the Computational Art and Design class.
You can find the documentation page here, as well as the notes on the progress.
