Wearable Interface

Second project, individual.


We were introduced to another much more powerful visual programming language for multimedia applications called Max. From there we were to hack up and old keyboard as a controller and wire it into clothing to create some kind of wearable interface (hence the project name).

I opted to make "Musical pants". At the time I was living out of a suitcase and stuck in Tuakau (the transition from being an income earner to a student can be harsh) so I didn't have access to all of my stuff or a space to work in. Having said that I was able to improvise with household bits and pieces to construct the garment.
