Project Title: Illuminating Interactive EDM Festival Outfit
Project Team Members: None.
Project Description: I will be designing am EDM Festival outfit that illuminates different LED patterns based on the motion of the wearer. Slower motions of the wearer will result in slow lighting effects (slowly fading in and out) and fast movements will result in a more aggressive light “show” (fast blinking LEDs, multicolor LEDs, etc.)
Sketch/Concept Art:
Inspiration: Mimic an EDM festival atmosphere.
Materials and Costs: LilyPad ($20), IMU ($20), individual purple LEDs ($8), Multicolor LEDs ($8), purple string LEDs ($5), blue string LEDs ($5), coin cell batteries ($10) and fiber optics ($10), outfit (N/A – already have everything).
Timeline:
March 4: Have all materials ordered
March 16: Have code completed and model hookup using alligator clips
March 29: Have string LEDs, LilyPad, IMU and batteries connected and attached to outfit
April 7: Attach the rest of the LEDs (multi and purple individual LEDs)
Remainder of April: Troubleshoot errors or add fiber optics for fun!
Fallback Plan: Everything I have proposed is very doable and I am determined to make it work. If I run out of time I will only incorporate 1 accelerometer threshold and no fiber optics. I could also include less LEDs if time is an issue.
