It Begins: MCN2011

Loved the idea…
Create a richer dialogue between digital and physical experiences

Loved the idea… But, Clueless

Winter break electronics crash course with dad

Diving in…
Wanted to make a project that responded to online relationships
Would see my ‘TFFs’ in real life at a conference in April

• Dress Design, Fit and Sew • Bird songs Cannibalized greeting cards • Wings Looked at many a costume
designer videos on YouTube. These wings are not be huge, just a little flutter and hopefully not costume-like
• Tweet sensor To activate the dress • Arduino Code Pulls it all together
Work Streams:

Dress
• Test and iterate with cheap fabric • Try it on, play with it! • Trace what you like back to paper • Moment of truth, cutting $ fabric
This process took a long time!

Tweet Trigger or ‘Twigger’
? Twitter API with Processing?
Worked, using Twitter 4J. No libraries on iOS Processing!
Xbee to server running API? Complicated, not very portable.
Web site Twitter to serial? Output from iPhone limited
Serious problem..key to whole dress!

Tweet Trigger or ‘Twigger’
? The iPhone can be set to make a sound when tweeted through notifications…
![Page 22: Problem-solving, Iteration & Creativity: What I learned while making the #TFF Twitter dress](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5556d3edd8b42ad94d8b55ce/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sound is electricity.. it can be harnessed!
![Page 23: Problem-solving, Iteration & Creativity: What I learned while making the #TFF Twitter dress](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5556d3edd8b42ad94d8b55ce/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But how?

I called my dad!

Voltage switch Attached to Arduino pin set as input
Birds and Servos Set as Arduino output pins
4 AA Batteries One power source for all elements (removed batteries from Birds to simplify circuit)
Arduino Code Watches the input pin and when the switch is closed, the birds sing and then the Servos turn 15 times.

• Iterate – Dead ends mean turn around, try again
• Listen to ideas – Collaboration makes better innovation
• Problem-solving – Sometimes stepping back is the best way
