Freqtric Project
-Touch Communication Interface System- "Without touch, a baby dies, the human heart aches, and the soul withers. Touch is communication on the most basic level. The need for touch is a necessity throughout our lives, from birth to death, which serves to sustain us emotionally and physically. " "Love is touch, touch is love"
Freqtric Drums
Freqtric Drums is a device that turns audiences surrounding a performer into drums so that the performer, as a drummer, can communicate with audience members as if they were a set of drums. It is of two types. One is "Freqtric Drums Live"(FDL); the other is "Freqtric Drums Home"(FDH). Freqtric Drums Live (FDL) is designed for live performance. The 10 sensors that are included in FDL are very sensitive and responsive in expressing a drummer's performance. Freqtric Drums Home (FDH) is designed for home use. FDH has a wireless MIDI module, A/D Converter, and voice change function. Instead of the ring interface, FDH has a knob interface. These features make FDH useful, portable and enjoyable to use as a communication tool. We also created FDH2 which is 2nd prototype of FDH. FDH2 can detect combination of skin contact. The video shows FDH2.

Freqtric Game
Our device called "Freqtric Game Controller Device" looks like a regular game controller, but it contains our original sensor to detect skin contact. The looks of the controller device show that we can easily apply "Freqtric Game System" to existing games. Handling the controllers , two players can do skin contact input by touching each other. There is a stainless steel plate on the back of each controller. Players are connected to the sensor of the controller device to handle their controller. We made shoot-em-up game which is called "Freqtric Shooting" , rhythm action game which is called "Freqtric Dance" and action battle game which is called "Freqtric Robot Battle" to show examples of video games using FG controller. In order to play our games, FG controller needs two players.
