July 10th, 2009. Tré today hacked together a controller for a Philips Lumalive shirt. The controller uses a solenoid actuator controlled by an arduino board. Inputs are capacitive touch sensors connected to conductive fabric sewn into the shoulders of the shirt. By touching the left or right shoulder, friends can operate an back and forward image browser on your t-shirt! We believe this to be the world's first truly interactive t-shirt!

This project was made possible through kind support by XLVideo, New York CIty.

Bill Buxton, a Queen's University alumnus, is a relentless advocate for innovation, design, and - especially - the appropriate consideration of human values, capacity, and culture in the conception, implementation, and use of new products and technologies. This is reflected in his research, teaching, talks, and writing - including his column on design and innovation for BusinessWeek.com, and his 2007 book, Sketching User Experiences. www.billbuxton.com
