I'm mainly wanting passive sensors, ie. ones that nobody has to wear. But most likely I'll start building things like weight plates for the floor -- probably pretty simple -- and moving from there. Troika Ranch (www.troikaranch.org) uses some sensor that works by a dancer bending it with their arms and legs. That's a bit less passive than I had in mind for my primary interest, but probably is more powerful. Mainly, any sensors that will allow other people to interact with an installation in an informal (not mouse/keyboard/monitor) manner.

I was wondering if any of you could recommend sources for sensor
fabrication. I'm interested in building my own sensors for use in performances w/ computer interface. I'd love advice about books to read, websites, or even where to start (i.e. do I need to be an electrician first). Thanks,
