Mr. Tech is a flexible armature that allows users to control a virtual character on the screen - within an animated scene. The 3D interactive character is designed as a simple “stick figure” with springy arms and legs. Bending the arms/legs alters the embodied flex sensors and in parallel alters the virtual 2D character on screen. The actions of Mr.Tech changes the animation and unfolds the narrative. Technically, what happens is that the changing values from each flex sensors (2 arms+2 legs) control the bend of the arms and legs in the Processing animation. The concept behind this project was to integrate between low-tech character animation techniques [stop-motion that involves the movement of a figure frame by frame] with Hi-tech animation techniques [Processing]
