Interactive Lingerie
This project was based on the concept of amplifying a fantasy. After researching the history of lingerie and the term fantasy I have developed a better understanding of how the two coinside. This project embodies both the male and female desires and focuses on the sensory and visual aspects of the female body. Through capcetence sensing, fiber optics and Arduino I was able to create a garnment that reacts to the touch of another. By touching the garment on its sides, the LEDs are activated and the fiber optic strands light up.
This project lead me to explore different fields that are out of my comfort zone. I am a beginner when it comes to sewing and I had to figure out how to create a corset and find out which materials would be best for the construction of the project. I also had to figure out how to embed the circuit into the garment.
This video was shot during the work in progress showing how the garment works.
