VIDEOBLΛST_R is a wearable projection device used for mapping 8 prepared audiovisual pieces. Mobile and interactive nature of this gear makes it easy to perform in dynamic outdoor conditions giving the wearer an artistic freedom.

Each of 8 vector graphic pieces* is animated with Processing language and accompanied by sounds of Cwejman S1 synthetizer. Animation is triggered by pressing buttons on Nintendo Wii Nunchuk controller. The controller is connected to Arduino Uno microcontroller board, button mappings are processed with ArduinoNunchuk library and transferred via USB Serial to Raspberry Pi 2 single-board computer running Processing environment. It outputs video and audio signals via HDMI cord into Optoma PK-320 projector. Everything is powered by 5V DC 1.5A Powerbank placed in an iPhone armband. System is mounted on a rollerblade wrist guard.

* Сreating few of them involved 3D animation, analog signal degradation and data bending techniques
