Research Assistant Work at the Social Body Lab
2019-2020
E-Textile Swatch Exchange, 2020
The Social Body Lab participated in the 2020 E-Textile Swatch Exchange by making 20~ felted game controllers (which were inspired by our fifth game controller workshop with DMG).
For full documentation, please see the swatch exchange post.
E-Textiles Game Controllers with DMG
Throughout the years 2018-2020, Social Body Lab partnered with Dames Making Games and game:play Lab to facilitate five e-textile oriented workshops that relate to game based interactions.
I assisted in developing and facilitating:
Workshop #3: Wearable Game Controllers
The workshops culminated in a Game Jam that combined all of their skills together.
Video Tutorials
To help participants with the remote game jam, I created and developed tutorials to support their game controller development.
