Project Title: Texting Shirt
Project Team Members: Michael Lampe and Sam Christensen
Project Description:
A shirt with a key board screen printed on it using conductive paint and a LED matrix display mounted on the cuff. A mobile app will interface with your phone via bluetooth so that when you receive a text it will be displayed on the LED matrix display and then you can text using the screen printed keyboard on your skirt.
