Could a computer make a suit of armour dance?
« on: 30/01/2009 02:30:02 »
Paul Anderson  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi Chris and team,

A year or two ago I was daydreaming of a light 'suit of armour' which folk could put on and it would help uncoordinated fools such as myself to do taiji or ballroom dancing, either by giving me an electrical 'prod' in the left leg or the right leg, or whatever.

I had toyed with the idea of having the 'suit of armour' hooked up wirelessly to a computer which was thinking in 3D. The computer would have the x, y and z coordinates for the 24 step taiji and it would direct the suit of armour to follow the instructions.

Any comments?
 
Regards
