Wearable Music Player

Spotify controller T-Shirt is a fun-wearable designed for people who are willing to open up themselves to tactile playful interaction. The interface on the t shirt can be used to controls desktop Spotify (or any other music player) to play, pause, next/previous track and volume levels.

This project is a part of textile interface design workshop which I attended at OCAD university. The shirt uses microcontrollers and analog sensors for textiles.

Hug Shirt

This expressive wearable is designed to signal welcoming gestures. The hand on the t-shirt playfully spreads out and flaps when someone approaches the wearer.

Clothing plays a vital role in social communication; it can broadcast strong social signaling. The clothes we choose to wear each day influence how others receive us, and the kind of first impression we put out into the world.

Collective Animation

Train Loop is an interactive experience that creates a collective animation from individual phones. The animation is created by users adding their individual phones to either end of the track. The phones communicate wirelessly to extend the animation across multiple devices to create a collective design experience.
