Accelerometers are specialized sensors that can measure its own rotation relative to gravity. They output the rotation data in analog form which allows for Arduinos to read it using analog input pins.

A collection of three exhibitions showcasing wearables custom-designed for three individuals, in order to provide viewers with perspective as they become immersed in the personalities of people with disabilities. This exhibition aims to improve accessibility for and inclusiveness of people with a range of disabilities by providing enabled people with perspective and understanding surrounding disability. The wearables exhibited were designed for three dancers, Krishna, who is blind, Tiffany, who has Jarcho-Levin Syndrome, and Jerron, who has cerebral palsy that affects the left side of his body. The exhibits for these wearables do not directly state their conditions, which gives each one a more mysterious, unique feel. Krishna's wearable is shield because she always wanted to shield and protect people, especially to help them feel comfortable when stepping outside of their comfort zone. Tiffany's is called the sunrise because she has a big, bright personality despite being very short because of her condition. Jerron's wearable is called the Spatial Expander because he always felt like he was put into a "box" by society because he is disabled. He wants to show people that he is capable of doing more than they think he can. |
Samantha's Brief:
A wearable rotating piece capturing the themes of self-identity and culture.
The project captured the work of Marka27 and specifically his mural called Queendom. Most of his work relates to cultural expression. His work also captures the clear divide between someone's internal cultural identity and what they choose to show to the world. Meet The Queen is a wearable designed to capture both aspects of identity and make the act of opening up in the control of the wearer. Marka27 also uses geometric shapes to frame the subject of his art.
Two rotating triangular pieces of wood serve as frames, inside of which bioplastic material is collaged with fabrics, colors, animal prints, and other design elements abstracted from the mural. The triangular frames are attached to a rotating bolt on a sturdy belt. When the pieces are in the upward position, the model's face is mostly covered, representing privacy and self-reflection. When the triangles are moved to the outward pointing position, they frame the upper half of the model's body just like in the mural. The final position, in which the triangles are pointing downward to create a skirt, is for when the wearer is confident and ready to show their whole self. The goal of this project is for anyone who wants to witness or demonstrate different sides of their culture and identity. Included in Queendom are aspects of the woman's African-American culture such as animal prints. These aspects are also included inside the bioplastic triangles placed to show her hiding some of these parts of herself.
