"Sure, this doesn’t use a vacuum tube, but it’s still a neat way to reuse some old-fashioned 7-segment LED displays. OK, so I can’t wear it yet. It still needs a case and watch band.The LED displays are quite tiny and would have been used for calculators or similar devices back in the day."

"Well, that time has come and they are finally finished. However, they look a little rough. I am still quite pleased with the overall product and will most likely be making a second pair. Got the idea from this awesome How-to.."

"I wanted to play around with the idea of composing color by utilizing the color-combining RGB LEDs. Using 3 different variable resistors I could adjust the levels of Red, Green, and Blue color elements separately. I was exploring the idea of actively ‘composing’ color for use in software like Photoshop, Illustrator, or some other art program. This glove is a self-contained first-step towards this kind of color control."

"So I decided to give Thanksgiving the attention it deserves. As a kid, I loved making decorations for the Thanksgiving table. I thought whoever came up with the idea that your hand could be traced and transformed into a turkey was a genius…Which is how the idea struck me, and I embarked on my second e-textile project: a LED hand turkey sweater."

"The Gloves are a cutting edge experimental gestural music ware being developed today for the purpose of Imogen Heap’s studio and stage work. Using a unique gestural vocabulary, motion data-capture systems, and user interfaces to parameter functions developed by Imogen Heap and her team, artists and other users will be able to use their motion to guide computer-based digital creations."

"The final idea was to embed a LED and copper coil assembly inside the titanium ring, illuminating it from under the stones when it was in close proximity to an induced alternating magnetic field. Autodesk Inventor helped me develop all of the dimensions and constraints for the design. Having some help, I was able to obtain her ring size and the rest of the measurements were based from there.

“The 48h project con­sisted of build­ing a hel­met device with humid­ity, tem­per­a­ture and fluid intake sen­sors, used to record and mea­sure the reac­tion of nuclear taco vic­tims of Codeb­its 2011 Nuclear Taco Chal­lenge. The sen­sors and ser­vos are con­nected by Arduino. 6 time­lapse videos were recorded doc­u­ment­ing the user expe­ri­ence. The host dis­played using face sub­sti­tu­ion tech­nol­ogy in realtime.”

“At the end of the last cold season, I decided I’d make another pair of liners, this time with only one 5′ strand of nichrome wire…A short test on the bike proved I now had heated liners that allowed me to use more than the lowest setting on the controller. I guess these are Glove Liners 2.1.”
