LED Dress

23 Dec

This isn’t your everyday LED dress, this dress monitors air pollution and displays air quality via LED’s placed on the dress.  Not only is this dress aesthetically appealing but it also integrates environmental concerns in an innovative and personal way.

“The lights pulsate based on the local carbon levels– the faster the pulse, the more dangerous the air conditions.”

The LED’s and carbon detectors are controlled via the arduino lilypad microcontroller.  I would be interested to see how this is powered, battery power perhaps?  I would be thrilled to see this use a solar-powered battery.
