Reading again about the Arduino Lilypad a few days ago, I started imagining what you could do with this miniature Physical Computing platform. Leah Buechley – developer of the LilyPad – describes the LilyPad Arduino as “a set of sewable electronic components that let you build your own soft, interactive fashion.” You could consider it a ‘subspecies’ within the Arduino range. Leah Buechley has quite some tutorials/instructables on her website, and interesting examples like this one: It might be an interesting link for the Social Textiles project, as the concept of the Lilypad centres on the combination of textiles with…

One of the installations I’m currently building for the museum M in Leuven, is a large interactive wall, consisting of 4 projections next to eachother. The interaction is being triggered by detection of presence or movement. The content is built around 12 objects from the archeology collection. Each object or artefact generates an associative stream of images, as if visualising a stream-of-consciousness. The technology involved is quite complex. For the time being, it is a combination of motion or presence detection, Arduino (as a Physical Computing platform), Flash, … The total width of the projection is ± 1280 x 4…
