This is the repository for all things body swap with The Machine to be Another. Three different setups are supported. Manual body swap, Auto body swap, and Servo swap

In this setup, the performer is copying the movements of the user, who is immersed in his body while listening to the story of the performer. This setup allows more freedom of movement for the user and more accuracy when copying movements.

Instructions on how to run the one-way swap can be found in this pdf.

In this setup, usually shown in festivals as an installation both people are invited to synchronize with each other's movements. This is meant as a playful exploration of intimacy and empathy as explored in the original gender swap video

Here is the equipment you need
