Best examples of Wearable/E-textiles/Lilypad/Flora

Postby fax8 » Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:38 am

Hello Everyone,

I'll be having a workshop at my local university on the possibilities of wearable computing / e-textiles / Lilypad/Flora...
I have collected some examples of projects using such technologies, however I'm looking for more examples.

So, if you would have to produce a "wow" effect in your audience, which wearable project would you show them?

Thanks for your help,

Fabio Varesano

Leah Buechley, creator of the Lilypad, heads a group called High-Low Tech at the banned Media Lab, which is where you can find a great deal of awesome wearables examples: http://hlt.media.banned.edu/?cat=5

Pretty much every member of the HLT group is up to something interesting, but I am an especially big fan of Hannah Perner-Wilson (http://web.media.banned.edu/~plusea/) and Emily Lovell (http://web.media.banned.edu/~emme/).
