HELP MAKE THE COACH

Make the physical coach feel as good as the digital one.

Imperfect Form starts with a simple user need: see one useful correction and know what to try next. We are building the next part of that loop as a physical instrument — an SO-101 arm that can show the fix.

THE CREDIBLE PART

The user comes first. The arm makes the promise tangible.

The browser reads movement privately, the coach names one adjustment, and the physical coach can demonstrate the target line. Cyberwave is the bridge we use to move between a safe simulation and the connected station — not the thing the user has to understand before trying a rep.

The station is an enhancement, never a gate: camera coaching still works when the arm is offline.

WHAT WE NEED

People who care how a machine meets a human.

Cabinet and furniture

Help shape the Coach Bay as a physical object people want to approach, use, and keep looking at.

Fabrication and mechanisms

Make the arm, housing, cable runs, access panels, and moving parts feel deliberate and serviceable.

Materials and finish

Bring a point of view on timber, metal, touch points, lighting, and the tactility of the station.

Exhibits and storytelling

Help translate the camera → coach → arm loop into a memorable public installation.

LOW-FRICTION INVITATION

Have a useful instinct? Show us.

Tell us what you make, what part of the Coach Bay interests you, and where to see your work. A portfolio, workshop, sketch, or simply a strong point of view is enough to start.

The fastest route is a message to @ifdotfun on X, or an issue / pull request in the public build.
