Summary of Summer School on wearable computing
This article announces a workshop at Supsi Summer School in Ticino, led by Massimo Banzi, focused on open-source fashion and physical computing. Participants will learn to design wearable objects using the Arduino platform and digital fabrication techniques. The course covers sensing, interpreting, and reacting to the real world through interactive systems.
Parts used in the Open-Source Fashion Workshop:
- Arduino platform
- Software for interactive systems
- Hardware for sensing and responding
- Digital fabrication tools
Next july (23rd to 27th) I’m excited to be at Supsi Summer School (Ticino) to talk about and prototyping on open-source fashion with Massimo Banzi. You can find the complete description below and apply to the course at this link.
Overview
Physical computing encompasses the design of interactive physical systems through the use of software and hardware that can sense and respond to the analog world. Applications of physical computing are becoming spread and, thanks to technology miniaturization and fast prototyping, it is now possible to experiment solutions of interactive and wearable objects that can be digitally fabricated.
Goals
Goal of the workshop is the design and prototyping, through the Arduino platform, of objects that sense, interpret and react to the real world and that can be wearable and digitally fabricated.
During the first phase of the workshop, notions of physical and wearable computing will be provided together with an introduction to the Arduino platform and to digital fabrication techniques.
