Chapter 14. Meow Shoes

Have you ever wanted to turn your body into a device to communicate with computers, beyond just typing on a keyboard or clicking with a mouse? I bet you have. Expressing oneself through human movement is a deeply connective and fun experience for almost everyone. Dance and similar art forms can move beyond just the visual and auditory effects bound to the movements themselves.
