Dreaming
Cheonji Keys
Keycaps already carry language, commands, and wear. I want to turn the suit into a public interface, then decide whether any of the keys should actually do something.

DREAMING / CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN
Cheonji Keys
A dossier before an object. Materials have been named. The workbench has not accepted them yet.
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.
Keycaps already carry language, commands, and wear. I want to turn the suit into a public interface, then decide whether any of the keys should actually do something.
Cheonji Keys turns a suit into a public interface. Commands, worn letters, and dead keys form a language across the body.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Monitor glow with keycap macro
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Keycaps, language, technology, input, commands, and memory
Weight or current measure
The first panel will establish whether the interface can stay flexible.
Construction
Test flexible keycap islands, spacing at joints, and optional low-power interaction later.
Wear
Key islands must bend around the body without pressing into it.
Care
Protect legends from abrasion and keep rigid caps from crushing one another.
