Biflatable Testing

A dance performer explores the potential of the Biflatable walking suit, designed to promote greater pedestrian exploration of public environments with minimal intrusion upon the natural landscape.

Testing was performed upon the biflatable ‘soft-suit’ in a semi-adverse pedestrian environment. An experienced dancer was chosen as the suit’s test subject in order to push the physical limits of the device. The balloonist was able to accomplish basic pedestrian movements, like walking and running, virtually uninhibited by the suit. The dancer also successfully performed more extreme gyratory motions such as leaping and stretching. Additionally, the suit was used to negotiate various difficult terrains like tall grass and steep inclines.
