Thesis – Prototyping
I’m no great illustrator, but here’s a rough sketch of the device, scaling mistakes and all. From this perspective you would be facing the back of the wearer and the extended “arms” would be wrapped around the persons stomach.
Here’s a video of me testing out a half assembled version of the device. I’m using inductive coils to create sound from the electromagnetic waves emitted from my computer and surrounding electronics. These sounds are being amplified and sent into a bass shaker speaker. The bass shaker is installed inside the metal box, and the gooseneck “arm” I’m holding onto is rumbling with the sound, as is the whole box.
I plan on embedding this device into a leather vest of sorts with buckles on the front for tightening and fastening. The coils will extend down the arms into gloves.
