Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “A Game of Stitches: Territory Control Through Embroidery”.
We are members of the disney research pittsburgh textiles lab and thread setting. Is our two-player territory control game for quilting or embroidery machine? So what we have here is thread setting portable edition, which is the embroidery machine version of our two-player game thread setting. So this is what we were able to bring to the gdc and, as i said, it’s a two-player game turn based. So players are going to alternate picking a direction. The sewing machine will stitch down that player’s little insignia to claim a title as theirs and there’s a competitive aspect to try to claim as many tiles as you can and the winner gets to keep the board. There is indeed a non-portable version, so the non-portable version runs on a full 13 foot, wide three foot, deep quilting machine which makes artifacts like the one behind me, so a full sized quilt, the tiles are much larger and it’s a thicker fabric.
What you’re seeing here is mostly a consumer singer, embroidery machine. These are a thing you can buy a thing you can use. Typically, you would use this by connecting it to your computer and interfacing via their proprietary software and also typically, the button panel here would have functions more related to actual embroidery or sewing.
So the button panel has been replaced with our own custom arduino based button panel with the lights and the buttons and perhaps more interestingly, the software component has been replaced with our reverse engineered new hardware library that we address similarly to how we might address just like A pen plotter, as i said we are the textiles lab or the textiles group of disney research pittsburgh disney research pittsburgh is an academic research lab. The textiles group in particular is interested in investigating ways to design for and control, computer-enabled means of textile production. So, for example, computer controlled embroidery. You .
