Week 8 Workshop: Windup and settle

Iterating on a landing and takeoff pose purely through the pose controls, timing feedback against a partner's read of the same trajectory.

14 April 2027

Preparation#

Complete the week 8 lecture task before this session.

Activity#

1. Build your two pose pairings from the lecture task on the posture comparison’s fixed trajectory.
2. Show both to a partner in a random order, without saying which is which, and ask them to identify the one you intended as “anticipating” the jump. Record their guess and whether it was correct.
3. Ask your partner which specific pose feature (arm swing timing, landing compression amount) drove their guess. Write it down even if their guess was wrong — a wrong guess still tells you what read as the stronger signal.

Output#

Your two pose pairings, your partner’s guess and outcome, and the pose feature they named as the deciding factor.

Criteria#

Not marked. Your tutor will check both pairings were shown on the identical trajectory — this is the same fixed-path discipline week 7 introduced, applied to a new pose feature.
