Design plan of power costume's glove part by Shengying

Some basic functions of our costume, the gloves can give three different kind of power visualizations by punching, griping fist and putting two hand close, sensors include: pressure sensor, accelerometer, flex sensor and hall effect sensor.

Qigong(Ch'i kung) Costume

My idea is to create a costume that can visually represents the Qi that flow and release from the user's body when they doing some movements and fighting with others

Im planning to use pressure sensors, accelerometers and magnatic sensors on this projects
In traditional Chinese culture, Qi is an active principle forming part of any living thing. The literal translation is "air," "breath," or "gas"

Qigong is a traditioanl Chinese meditative practice that often uses slow graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques to promote the circulation of Qi within the human body, also can be considered as "KongFu of Qi"

Im planning to use pressure sensors, accelerometers and magnatic sensors to capture my movements in this project, The Qi will be visually represented by LED or Lighting wire, Im planning to put some lights on each joint, when the user use their joint to attack, then the LEDs on that joint light up to show the Qi, Im also want to make a Qi release effect which is like the Dragon ball's Kamehameha

DMDN384 Project Final outcome: Directional Belt

I have changed my orignal idea LED T-shirt to belt. I named it "Directional Belt"

The basic function of this belt is to tell the user what direction he is facing to. There are two LED
circuits on this belt, one circuit is made up by seven white LEDs facing to severn different directions. If the wearer is facing to the north then all seven LEDs light up, if the wearer is not facing to the north then only the white LED that facing to the north light up, the other LEDs turn off. The other circuit is made by six RGB LEDs, the colour of these six RGB LEDs changes when the wearer turing around, the RGB LEDs show different colours if the wearer face to different directions.

Key electronic components: HM6352 compass moduel, Arduino lilypad
