Heart Sweater

The wearable is a simple sweater using only 3 parts and materials, on the ends of the sleeves is conducive fabric that acts as the inputs on each side. On the inside of the biceps is where the other conductive fabric is acting as the other two inputs. Conductive thread attaches all of these to the circuit playground located at the bottom of the sweater. The ground is shaped as a heart by the heart to represent one of the references I used from the game Undertale.

Although I couldn’t accomplish it fully, the idea for the design was to make it so when you move the controller it would result with your fist(or arm) on your heart, which also comes from a show that I’ve watched(to give up your heart for a cause.

The controller works by using digital switches and attaching it to the ground using conductive fabric, the conductive thread is attached to the fabrics to their respective pinouts allowing the code to move through the sweater.
