Abstract

We present the development vision of a range of interactive body-worn lighting systems for performance, play, rehabilitation and dis- or altered- ability support. The systems combine experimental and off-the-shelf technologies to arrive at outcomes that require and inspire extended physical and expressive engagement, and afford a range of different learning opportunities. We discuss the context and background, our aims and approach - mixing art, design and engineering methodologies. We then outline a number of scenarios of use and their relevance to ArtAbilitation. Our aim is to open up a dialogue with the ArtAbilitation community in the early stages, to generate collaborative interest and inform development.
