I made a prototype of a soft circuit for the project I’m making, I started building the pattern of a glove and then stitching with a machine the circuit lines, using conductive thread on the spool of the machine. I made a soft switch for the ring and a battery holder. All works, now I have to add the sound part of the project.

Here are the pictures.

After today’s feedback in class, I decided to work with the wonder twins and the rings.
So my idea is using LEDs and a buzzer (I’m considering the idea to use a recordable device). All of them will be activated when the rings touch each other, both the LEDs and the buzzer will be on a glove, and the rings will function as soft switches.

This is the diagram for the actual circuit:

The first thing that came to my mind with this assignment was the garments superheroes use, how they are different from each other not only because of their power, but the way they look like; garments are they’re way to communicate in a visual way who they are, what they do, and who they work with.

Then I thought about super heroines, and how they normally have really sexy garments, if they don’t show a lot of skin they have tights that enhance the body and they physical attributes they have. So the next step for me was, if I had to pick a super heroine I really like and make a “fashionable technology” garment, who would I choose? And how can I reflect what she is by this wearable I have to design?
So what I did, just pick my three top super heroines and take a little closer look to them.
