Wearables Studio
Week 9, Progress



Version 3 of the dress is complete. This time I started with a
pattern, working with felt, and cut the curves into a look I liked. I
took a few of the larger butterflies and glued them on (with embroidery
glue) to grasp the dresses' atmosphere. I am quite fond of it, although
the felt must be replaced with a lighter fabric, perhaps organza. I do
not think the dress need be covered in butterflies, just enough to
elegantly accent it. Thankfully, it fit Amy beautifully for our
Thursday presentation.



I spent the rest of my time working with the heartbeat sensor. The
Polar G3CHR. I tried making my own electrodes with conductive fabric...
no luck unless they were wet or goo'ed up with lotion. Too bad.

What do I think the simulation of the Butterfly Dress will be like on
Thursday? Well, it shall be a cocktail party. Nothing like a little
music and champagne for a party!
