Musing about distances (– from here, to there…; from my one hand, to the other hand… ) and then thinking about the size of things and how hard they are sometimes to percieve esp. when far away or largely sized, I quickly realized that I would like to find a way to translate such terms like meters and centimeters (– the metric system: a measuring system we used to learn, yet, often so intangible) into terms that might be more abstract but still emotionally close to us: sounds. | Musing about distances (– from here, to there…; from my one hand, to the other hand… ) and then thinking about the size of things and how hard they are sometimes to percieve esp. when far away or largely sized, I quickly realized that I would like to find a way to translate such terms like meters and centimeters (– the metric system: a measuring system we used to learn, yet, often so intangible) into terms that might be more abstract but still emotionally close to us: sounds. | ||

IDEA / CONCEPT ± USAGE | |||
The gloves are equipped with an IR-distance sensor, that can sense and measure the gap between one hand and the other. | |||
These date will be translated via Processing into sound: The wider the distance, the higher the sound. The other way round: very small distance sounds very low. | |||

(USAGE) | |||
You switch on… | |||
By joining the middle fingers of both of your hands, you will ‚activate‘ the gloves (in a metaphorical way) and by that initiate the process of measuring: | |||
a light the finger switches on, and a short vibration starts, / indicates the start of the measuring . | |||
Also, an audioguide will switch on which will guide you through… | |||
By joining the middle fingers again, the measuring process will stop. // | |||
The gloves also feature a vibration, which will be activated when you put them on and do the initial gesture (putting the middle fingers togethe). | |||
SPECS: | |||

// So! …. | |||
How big sounds …. | |||
And how big does the size of your … sound like? | |||
