Work-in-progress V: Latex Sensor prototypes and attaching lights to the Crown

Ella has been working on the prototype of a sensor based on similarity to the AI sketch presented earlier. She has made 3D latex tube which probably will be attached to the conductive rubber together with other latex pieces glued to the conductive rubber. The piece is still quite abstract at this stage, however further ideas how sort out right functionality are emerging.

LED strips were attached to the inside support structure of the crown. To attach them I have used resin glue and UV light for curing. There will be the total of four strips, two short on sides and two forks on the top. Each strip or fork will be possible to control and program separately. At the moment strips were tested with the external Arduino only to mainly test the functionality after attachment, but the idea is to connect them to the Core Station on the performers back. The light pattern will react to the data motion from the BNO055 sensor on the Crown.
