Overview
Stephanie is an introvert. This can be a bit unfortunate when you are a person that enjoys spending a lot of free time creating fashion things bedazzled with LEDs… only to rarely wear them out in public.
In an effort to actually challenge her anxieties and share her weird fashion creations with others, Stephanie decided to create a wearable project that would force her to be sociable in order to be able to retreat to her introvert shell. In this talk, she’ll share how she is using machine learning with javascript and tiny computers to make “fashion” that is responsive to the people around you and the attention you are (or aren’t) receiving.
Objective
You will be inspired by the application of machine learning to artistic wearables to challenge one’s own emotion responses.
Target Audience
