Electric Meat
Individual project, Apr. 2023
Mutual capacitive touch silicone skin for the ESP-32 and Arduino with computer vision and blob detection. Programmed microcontroller in C++, programmed visualization on the Processing platform in Java. Made with platinum cure silicone and silver conductive threads.
It also screams. Loudly.
Actions such as slapping, punching, stroking, clawing, etc. are all welcome.
I used a 12 input capacitive touch sensor board to get 36 separate signal points by overlaying conductive threads in a 6 x 6 arangement.
