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.
