We decided to keep it simple, because the\nsimpler the concept is, the easier the practical work will be. We used four\ndifferent cylindrical sticks for alphanumeric characters and a black metallic\nstick to signalize space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it can be seen in the visual representation\nabove, different colors symbolize different groups of characters. The moves\n(that is, signs) for every alphanumeric character were randomly chosen to make\nit easier for both the transmitter and receiver to remember them. The same\nmoves were repeated for different sticks; one sequence of moves was repeated\nfor vowels and numbers, and another one for first six consonants. Then, a\ncombination of the two sticks was used for the last nine consonants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first sequence for numbers and vowels,\nrandom moves were chosen for the characters; however, it was important to\nremember the flow of the sequence. For example, holding the pink stick with\nyour right hand, it signalizes E, and holding the yellow sticker in the same\nposition signalizes the number 2 (both signalize the second member of the\nsequence, except for 0 in numbers which is considered a separate member).\u00a0 In the second sequence, same technique was\napplied. For example, pointing out at your left shoulder with the blue-colored\nstick signalizes B and holding the black sticker in the same position\nsignalizes K. The moves and their signals are shown below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that we agreed Gjorgji\nto be the transmitter and Yero the receiver, so Gjorgji signalized each\ncharacter for documentation, such that during the competition, it would be\neasier for Yero to be more familiar with the move Gjorgji makes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last nine consonants of the alphabet,\na combination of two sticks was applied to signalize each character; these were\nblack and blue-colored stick. Except for Q, R and Z which were random moves,\nfor S,T,V,W,X,Y we decided to actually show each character visually. Out of\nthese, only W and X were shown in its original position, whereas the other ones\nfacing the ground (that is, being inverted). A visual representation is shown\nbelow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system was easy to be remembered such that\nthe sentence can be easier transmitted when one has to combine the different\nmoves. However, during the competition, we realized that some character can be\nincorrectly signalized – such as R and Y, when Gjorgji transmitted R as Y\nputting the blue-colored stick a bit up than it was supposed to be – and we did\nnot think of a way to signalize a repetition of a word or a character when the\nreceiver is not sure which character is actually being transmitted. For future\nimprovements in the system, we should think of implementing this improvement\nfor full system functionality. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
