Another cool wearables project from Adafruit Director of Wearable Electronics and MAKE alum Becky Stern. In this design, Becky is showing off the capabilities of Adafruit’s FLORA wearable color sensor. She’s sewn it into a circuit with a FLORA microcontroller and 12 FLORA RGB LEDs, on a ruffled scarf designed to diffuse the light and give a softer effect.

Make a GIANT EL wire Electron Bow with Becky at Adafruit!
Preview of great projects showing at this weekend’s second annual Maker Faire Seoul.

More wearables goodness from Becky over at Adafruit. Folks have been crowing about the advent of wearable electronics for a long time, of course, and while it’s easy for prognosticators and futurists to predict these things in theory, it takes folks like Becky, down in the trenches, to actually make it happen.
