Whiskers V2: Jake M.


This second iteration of the whisker included aural feedback, mobile power (batter) and a new whisker configuration. The primary critique of this new version was that the new 'floating' whisker design lost the 'playability' of the previous version. 
Future iterations will focus on improving the feel of what is now becoming an instrument of sorts. The whiskers will go back to being fixed to the body. In fact, the body will change to promote a more enjoyable trigger movement when users activate the whisker.
Another idea is to increase the 'open electronics' feel of the device by making the tangle of connection wires larger and more chaotic. Ideally the wires themselves would become 'playable'.
