Document Summary
Embodiment-connections between form and the body (not just with the human body) Issues of social interaction and decision making using technology. E. g. how the body reacts to the room temperature. Senses-how we actually take in information in an environment. E. g. how people are able to walk to the washroom in the dark without any light around. Requires fabric, sewing, and wearable technology such as conductive thread, leds, and small micro controllers. E. g. dresses which react to music and movement. Discover > ideate > prototype (abstract > tangible > abstract > tangible) Being open to new opportunities and getting inspired to create innovative ideas. How to interpret and begin designing what you learned. Measures arousal and anxiety levels through electric charges. Can be easily hacked and connected to an arduino board. Can be hacked to read brain activity using arduino and processing. Measures orientation and gives 9 axis of movement. Lilypad protoboard, light sensor, micro controller, temperature sensor.
