My inspiration for the wearables is an artist who makes very smooth ceramic shapes that show how the colors change and look like something modern and new. I really like his work; it's like magic. This is his Instagram account [Maxwell Mustardo](https://www.mustardom.com/) and this is his website [Maxwell Mustardo.](https://www.instagram.com/maxwellmustardo/)
Another project i found interesting is this one above from hackster platform.
> The Smart Glove, made by Cameron Coward, is an attempt to introduce more novelty to this human interface device, which supports basic movements and clicking with either the left or right button. Movement is monitored with an accelerometer and sent to the host computer over USB, whereas clicks are detected with a pair of flex sensors.
## ASSIGNMENT
For this assignment we discover different outputs, audio, lights, sound and learn how to create circuits with transistor and the materials in the lab to create interactions.
## FLIP DOTS (GENERATING MOVEMENTS)
At the beginning, we learn how to create an electromagnetic field in the lab with components available. Start with the flip-dots.

## **SOFT SPEAKERS** (GENERATING SOUNDS)
I use the circuit below to turn on the sound from a soft speaker with a lot of magnets stacked on each other!
I checked the documentation of [ala' janbek](https://class.textile-academy.org/2023/ala-janbek/assignments/week08/) to learn more and gain knowledge about the speakers.
In the lab, we have thermochromic powder that changes color to white when heated.
In the lab, we have thermochromic powder that changes color to white when heated. We have 2 colors at the lab, one green one orange and they turn white at 50 degrees temperature.
## Workflow:
- First I put the powder in a cup.
- Then we put hot water in.
- We put a little dye in the bath.
- Then mix it together.
- Then I mixed it together.
- I also added a piece of cotton to try dyeing the fabric.

- We put a little dyebath from my previous assignment (turmeric dye leftover) in a petridish with some orange powder.
-We put all in the microwave and started heating a little bit. I repeated the experiment with fabric. The base color of the cotton is now green.
- When it's heated, the cotton becomes yellow, as the powder turns white.
