Knowing about programming semaphores but not visual semaphores seems quite bizarre to me. A bit like thinking flag or register or stack were only computer terms.
I figure it's quite common for non native speaker, no ?
Author here! Pleasant surprise to find my project at the top of HN this morning with such positive feedback :) I'm happy to answer any questions or hear suggestions for future tweaks. Planning to make this into a customizable full-body game controller as well.
Enjoyed your video, but quick FYI: Your SSN is visible on the shot of your tax form. Might not want that detail to go viral.

I wonder how long it took to learn the actions. A dance revolution style tutorial would be fun
It only took me a couple days to learn all the signals and work out the modifiers, but about ten days of ~an hour a day after that of speeding things up. Maybe I'll make my own instructional 80s workout video for it...

Here’s hoping this ends up in a Vulf music video.

I think you could turn this into a game - Dance Hero or something. With a ridiculous storyline where you have to send signals with the power of dance to save the world

Yea, like many computing terms are normal words now being used as jargon
I'm struggling to think of any computer terms that aren't repurposed 'normal' words, initialisms, acronyms, or portmanteaus. Even the words 'computer', 'program' and 'code' are repurposed.
Ah but it says, "The term originated as a whimsical irregular form of the verb think." but without citation. Hmm, I dimly recall some hacker wag saying something like, "it's the sound of a continuation hitting the stack"...
Maybe "plonk" counts? https://en.everybodywiki.com/Plonk_(Usenet)
