Body Language

One idea I have for making interactive clothing is have several mercury tilt switches in the arm to act as an angle sensor.

Each tilt sensor is at a slightly different angle to detect if in arm is swinging, resting or holding an object.

This information can represented by two animated creatures that play, sleep or work according to the corresponding arm.

I haven’t decided on whether the display would be separate or integrated into the clothing.
