Interactive Wearable
Mania Mustache
For the interactive wearable project, we were tasked to create a product that enhanced a specific motion with three different levels of response. Wanting to approach the assignment from a comical angle, I decided to create a strap-on beard wearable that enhanced the emotion of being mischievous while plotting against others. This final product, Mania Mustache, curls the mustache of the beard at three different speed settings depending on where you begin your stroke while pondering. In order to execute my designs I created a pulley system, activated by capacitive touch sensing, using motors and Arduino IDE prototyping and software.
