This project was an attempt to recreate a wearable illusion that a person is, physically, an android. It consisted of a bodysuit that all of the robotic pieces were attached to including all of the electronics. Included are: over 200 LEDs in the chest, arms, and back; 6 servos, 3 in each […]
Video of final project available here: https://youtu.be/ZTxle8vFWD0 My project is a tactile, interactive STEM outreach piece. It is designed to get kids excited about electronics and programming with lights and motion. The EL wire is passive and can draw in an audience, the persistence of vision is designed for ‘Wow’ […]
–video -picture: -reflection: The first iteration of the M-Shirt is done. The shirt has 4 EL panels that light up at different sound volumes, which makes the shirt respond directly to music. Sound is read in at a microphone at the right shoulder and a microprocessor reads the live data […]
The Purpose When initially planning for this class project, every idea I came up with had some component that couldn’t be washed (like a battery), or that required more soldering than sewing (most sensors), alongside some component that could be sewn directly into the garment. This seemed like a […]
Photography by Elizabeth Wadium Poster Link: https://uwmadison.box.com/s/vmvozgcqwt2w41zut91548gd8sxk0yio Describe what your project does and how it works My project is a conceptual dress that lights up to sound. It is a wearable art piece demonstrating the visual representation of sound waves through its design. The Electroluminescent wire is hooked up to […]
This project is a skirt with Neopixels and beads that creates a pattern inspired by Milky Way. For how it work, the electret microphone will detect the sound to trigger Neopixels to light up. The Neopixels will change the colors and blink based on the sensitive of VU meter when […]
IMG_6901.MOV My project is a basic fitness tracker that uses heart rate data to drive different LEDs. For a low heart rate, or a heart rate below the target zone, the RGB blinks blue at the user’s heart rate. For a heart rate in the zone, it blinks green at […]
Upload images and videos of your final project and an image of your final poster as a JPG: I tried to upload videos but they don’t show up as they are quicktime iPhone videos, so I had to take these screenshots: light up cuff interior shot of patch pocket lights […]
This project was a response to the notion that women need to cover themselves and avoid “distracting men.” There are two layers to the piece, a modest outer layer consisting of the hood, jacket, and skirt; and a more “revealing” layer underneath consisting of the crop top and leggings. When […]
This project is a five-panel cap, with lights embedded in the brim, that reacts to an audio signal passed in through a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. As for how it works: it (mostly) doesn’t. Click the picture below for a feel of the current effect, then we can talk about why the video […]
