[Matt Leggett] designed a jacket that is telling you whether you are able to drive or not: Included in the jacket are an Arduino microprocessor, an alcohol sensor, and a series of LED’s that “provide an elegant solution to the drink driving problem.” A breathalyzer located in the pocket of the jacket, analyses the sample and […]

[Mykle Hansen] explains how to make a Speed Vest displaiyng the speed of the bicycle, as seen on Make: 19. This is a cool intro-project for wearable electronics. Bicyclists receive a lot of honk-based grief from car drivers who perceive them as slow and in the way, and when drivers misjudge a bicycle’s speed, it can cause […]
[t3chnolochic] made a leaf planetarium based on IKEA design and Arduino. Long story short, 400 ft of fiber optics, 6 power LEDs, and a lilypad arduino later, I present to you, my giant twinkling leaf planetarium. Want to make one yourself? She wrote an Instructable about it. via [T3chnolochic]
We are happy to announce 3 new products available at the Arduino Store: two powerful servos with the standard Tinkerkit 3pin connector (T010050 and T010051) and OpenSoftwear, a book about fashion and technology by Tony Olsson, David Gaetano, Jonas Odhner, Samson Wiklund, in it’s second, revised edition.
Philip Torrone review and analyses the state of things in Wearable Computing. A must-read: For decades I’ve wanted interesting, beautiful, and (sometimes) functional electronics on the most personal geographies of all, myself. When I think of “living in the future,” it’s what springs to mind: subtle LEDs, lots of polished metal. In this week’s column […]
Arduino is driving a huge amount of pen nibs in a wearable computing fashion project by John Nussey and Steven Tai . In the above video and gallery, you can see the remarkable construction of the originally-named Pen Nib Dress, a shiny, pointy stunning garment created by creative technologist John Nussey and Central St. Martins Womenswear […]
Interesting DIY fabric speakers from Hannah Perner-Wilson: Making a speaker is much easier than you’ve ever imagined, and what you need to prepare is merely: textile (or paper), conductive tape and some strong magnets. Try this one made by Hannah Perner-Wilson and you’ll find it quite impressive. UPDATE: as Tara commented below, you can have […]
[Charlie Bucket] is developing a personal look towards materials: pumping fluids in tubes to change objects’ (and cloths’, as you see in the video) substance and feeling. Magic-like. The installation is based on openFrameworks, and uses 6 arduino-driven pumps to make the fluid flowing through the tubes. Very interesting fabrication pictures on Flickr. More on […]
The Blind Theater Project is a performance aimed to turn the body into the stage of a sensorial theater. Several sensor suits allow the spect/actors to feel the world around them in a new, unknown, way: The play contributes to the critical understanding of the body’s importance in our visually dominated culture. It opens the […]
