hello, Mr. Singer, how are you?
i would like to apply to be one of the
field-testers or evaluators here at local dance venues
in s.e. arizona, (80 miles southeast of tuscon)for
this sensor interface, as i love to dance and am a
musician, playing piano, cello, guitar, flute, and
sing.
have tried to speak with MIT and their media lab
for this above stated purpose, but they seem to be
working on further developments before production,
whenever that may be....
Please reply to william when convenient, email
address;
skyaquaz@xxxxxxxxx
Thank you and good fortune with this endeavor.
