The LED matrix dress is coming along nicely, and now it even has a conceptual meaning!
My awesome friend Andrew Parnell is helping me with the code and things. This is a picture of us testing out the code he whipped up (in like, a minute, it was crazy) by modifying something he'd written a year ago.
This is where some more intense sewing sets in, connecting all those rows and columns into the holes on the arduino.
It looks nice and messy underneath the top layer of fabric, but that's alright. A little glue sealant and scissor snips fixes that right up!
Here's the first "button" being embroidered on, when all is said and done these will trigger the different animations. The concentric circles are supposed to evoke a feeling of ripples.
Here's a closer shot of it:
The dress is going to be complete by Monday. I'll have a full post and video documentation, and even an artist statement to boot.
