Eye of the Hurricane

The Eye

The Eye is a person who experienced complete memory loss and now has no long term memory. When she transforms she can see and control both the past and the future.

The Eye’s weakness is rain which brings back her only memory.

Original Sketch

• The wristband and contact pad on the suit allow the Eye to travel backwards and forwards in time. When the two contact points from the wrist and finger touch the pad, the lights activate and time travel begins.

The wristband and contact pad are constructed using fabric, 3V coin battery, conductive thread, and conductive fabric strips (three types). The circle at the wrist area is the positive and the the fingerband is the ground connection. When they touch the respective conductive material on the pad, the leds light up.

• Lasers. These are her laser contacts that freeze her enemies in time. They are activated by her kneeing her enemy in their privates.

Actual construction is soft switch connected to two leds using

conductive fabric strips, 3V coin battery, and

fabric.

CHALLENGES & SUCESSES

• Sewing on lycra• Functioning soft circuit

not working consistently/properly.

• Trouble shooting circuit once stitched on costume

• Costume fitting• Costume design ideas

differ from original intent

• Soft switch triggering • Connecting a circuit using

a contact point from two pieces of the costume

• Almost cool looking.• Leds lighting up will

always be amazing.• Using fabric “patches”

rather than sewing circuits directly into costume.

Future Steps• The strongest design

element of the costume, the “eye”, did not get completed. I would like to finish that design.

• The idea of video and sound triggers would be great elements for future development.
