Arduino has caught the attention of inventors, electronic enthusiasts, artists, designers, hobbyists in a big way. It's an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. In this session i will introduce you to the history, basics of the platform and show you some real life demos of the cool possibilities of what you can do with Arduino which will include controlling servos, displaying information on external LCD display, capturing data from sensors, interfacing Arduino with iPhone, using IR emitters to act as a remote, accept input with a keypad, wearable garments among others. The session will start with theory and will transition into a demo to showcase Arduino hardware/software capabilities and several creative ideas of using sensors, shields, servos and interfacing with external devices.

Topic: Google Glass is an Android device (almost) We will cover wearable computing and functional fashion. Where it has been and where it is going. Then, we will talk about the experience of picking up Glass (very different). What it is like to be in the Glass Explorer community. We will have some fun playing with Glass as the audience is asked to issue command and see the response from Glass live (this is very interesting as Glass is still in beta) We end with how to develop using the Mirror API and how to attach adb (debugger) and do native Android development on Glass. We will review my Nike+ Glassware project. Demo:: Google Glass attached to Eclipse adb Devices: Nike+ Fuelband Jawbone Up Fitbit Review of functional fashion.
