Wearable and Flexible Electronics ― Tools and Techniques for Prototyping Wearable Electronics

Our bodies are our primary interface for the world. Interactive systems designed to be worn can be intimate, upfront, and sometimes in your face (literally). Bringing wearable electronics from concept to prototype to product can be both inspiring and challenging. This book gives you what you need to start working with these new materials, tools, and techniques. It covers popular wearable products such as the Arduino Lilypad, Adafruit Flora, and the Fabrickit.
