Hi Erika, Your 'Free Space Loss' project looks really interesting! :) The helmet looks lo-fi, but i imagine this makes it much more immersive than a pair of goggles. The physiological data tracking feeding into the image stream is what really makes this interesting. Did you investigate any ideas more "lawnmower man" like with it?
I am kinda interested just to know about the tech side of it? Hardware/Software used? Is there any detailed documentation, open source? best regards, James.
