LOCKUP General Information

Physical User Interface The end-user will be wearing a modified straight jacket that will contain bio-feedback information.

The jacket will have massage pulsers in certain "high sensativy" areas.

There will be heat output devices contained in the lining of the jacket also.

It will also have sensors to gauge the users pulse which will be monitored and will trigger events based on the rate.

Physical CAVE Interface I will build a large metal bar door for the fourth CAVE wall. Audiences will stand behind it looking into the CAVE.

There will be surveilance cameras around the area.

Physical Assistants There will be two uniformed "Officers" in the CAVE with the end-user during the performance that will interact with the user during certain choreographed times. Otherwise, they will stand at attention in the back corners.

One will be a "good" cop and the other will be the "bad" cop.

End-User Responsability The end-user volunteer, will have to sign a legal document waiver that restrics them from any actions against the creator/school for emotional/physical suffering.

They will also be told a keyword to use if the experience becomes too painfull and they really want to stop.

If there are no volunteers for a show, there will be planted volunteers in the audience who will know the choreography.

My Responsability I will be the Warden in charge of everyone and everything within my sight.
Parting Gift There will be videos being made live at the show of people's experiences. Footage will be edited down from surveilance camers, CAVE walls and interviews.
Website I will organize a website to document the reactions and observations of everyone involved with the peice.
