Final Project (+ Interactive post) – Snakey Vest

——– Interactive Project ——– For my project I wanted to prototype a game on the Arduino and make something interactive for people to enjoy. At first, I was going to do an installation where two people would play a game, but I wanted to do something a little different than a game on display. After…

Thinking Cap Creative Switch By: Tamae Douglas

FINAL PROJECT

 This is the breadboard that I used. I solder the corresponding wire to the breadboard. I then taped the breadboard the the flipper flappers.  I changed the flipper flappers and used a table saw. I taped the servo to the flappers.  I attached the breadboard the the trinket and then attached velcro the the flipper…

Final Project Proposal

For my final project I would like to continue with my dress that lights up with your heartbeat. I want to add one last component that changes the color of the lights. Idea 1: The most Ideal, and my favorite component could be adding another input for temperature. The higher the temperature, the more red…

Final Project Proposal

Amy Chen For the final project I would like to continue to work on the Bunny Ear headphones. Some issues that came up with the headphones as a prototype was that the battery could not power them on. This is a minor issue that can be easily addressed. Something that I would like to do…

Younghui Kim’s “Stir It On!”

Younghui Kim is an New York-based interactive designer. Her Stir It On! project features a skirt that reacts to touch, so that if someone bumps into the wearer, subtle light patterns will be emitted from it. Kim explains that the glow emitted from the skirt can be interpreted as either a warning to back off,…

Turn Signal Biking Jacket

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….

New Rave 2.0

There’s a thin line between the practical and the ridiculous, yet this fashion experiment designed by Hussein Chalayan and engineered by Moritz Waldemeyer stretches well into the realm of ridiculous. Taking the “rising trend” of wearables and twisting it into an extreme one person light show produces this raver’s dream outfit; however, rather than using…
