ETC Team IF is partnering with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh to create an interactive and e-textile experience about fashion for middle school children. IF (Interactive Fashion), will provide visitors the opportunity to play with wearable technologies that trigger communication between sounds and lights when they interact with each other or with the environment. As a location-based entertainment experience, IF relies on Arduino and Raspberry Pi as its output devices to offer feedback through the changes of LEDs’ color and sound to its users. We applied our knowledge and talents of researching, designing, prototyping, programming, and fabricating to all steps of experience development to emphasize edutainment, engagement and interactivity.
