Hotaru Prototype #2 Playtesting with Kaho Abe

Join former Eyebeam Computational Fashion Fellow Kaho Abe to playtest Hotaru Prototype #2, a two-person cooperative wearable playful experience. This is the continuation of Kaho's exploration into Costumes as Game Controllers with Hotaru. A playtest is a chance to beta test this game in progress and provide feedback directly to the artist.
