PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket – Design
Below are some of the sketches I’ve done of the Semaphore Jacket, including object/circuit design and sketches of the user experience.
OBJECT DESIGN:
Front of the jacket – with LED sleeve panels and snap switch. Silicone wire will travel from the circuit, up the sleeve and around to the back.
Back of jacket – backpack that holds the micro-controller and battery, wires connect up and back.
USER EXPERIENCE:
