We want to allow the user to delight in the mental experience of being a free-swimming octopus for him/herself using the hand.
Sergio & I tested our Processing Octopus animation using an accelerometer ADXL 335' x & y outputs as well as a single flex sensor. We are still tweaking our mapping values and the rest of the code to make sure we have the expressive octopus-like swimming movement we initially had in mind.
