In the world of wearables, the LilyPad Arduino, a washable set of sensors and electronic components, is allowing for innovative new wearable electronics. Leah Buechley used the LilyPad Arduino to create a biking jacket that displays turn signals. To activate, the user simple clicks a button within their wrist and the turn signal responds accordingly. A device like this would be helpful for bikers in urban environments. If the price was reasonable, this product could become very successful. I am interested to see what other devices make use of these components and I look forward to experimenting with them on my own.
