Description:
The next step of the CMU project was creating a model that moves with the body, based off our final model from the previous step. I created an accordion system by carving notches into sticks and tying them together with string. I cut the three shapes from my previous model out of foam and attached them to the ends of the sticks, which vary in length. The leftmost diamond ties to your shoulder, while the rightmost ties to your opposite leg, as the piece expands and contracts with the movement of your torso.
