fabrication – week 5

two materials assignment

This week we were tasked to work with two different materials. I’ve been venturing myself in the wearable world, so I took the opportunity to learn how to use the sewing machine and understand how to connect wires with conductive thread or fabrics. The goal was to create gloves with LEDs that change their color effects depending on the gesture you make when wearing them.

Materials:

• Conductive Fabric;
• Conductive Thread;
• Perf board;
• Silicon wires;
• Conductive tape;
• Thread;
• Reflective Fabric;
• Stretch Grey Fabric;
• Neopixels;
