I rigged up a very basic prototype of the new laserfingers design, and I think it’ll work without much more elaboration. The assembly process is much simpler, the design is very error-tolerant, and it’s easier to put on and take off than the first-generation gloves were. I haven’t completely settled on the attachment scheme for the battery pack, but that shouldn’t be too hard.
I also got started on the fancy new dancing pants I want for the Shpongle show. I cut out a mockup of the pattern in a cheap cotton knit and tried sewing it together, but had all kinds of trouble with the sewing machine. I think it is time to call this experiment to an end and just buy a newer machine.
