    wearing the skirt  

Twirl is a dynamic and reactive skirt that is controlled using a fuzzy logic reasoning algorithm, and programmed with the fuzzy logic controller that i'm developing for my thesis. this skirt has a bend sensor embedded along the seam of the back side, and it thus detects when the wearer is standing up straight, sitting down, or bending over. the sprinning flourishes alter their behavior based on the posture of the wearer.
