Wearable Electronics
What if your clothing could change color to complement your skin tone, respond to your
racing heartbeat, or connect you with a loved one from afar?
Welcome to the world of shoes that can dynamically shift your height, jackets that display
when the next bus is coming, and neckties that can nudge your business partner from across
the room. Whether it be for fashion, function, or human connectedness, wearable electronics
can be used to design interactive systems that are intimate and engaging.
Make: Wearable Electronics
is intended for those with an interest in physical computing who
are looking to create interfaces or systems that live on the body. Perfect for makers new to
wearable tech, this book introduces you to the tools, materials, and techniques for creating
interactive electronic circuits and embedding them in clothing and other things you can wear.
Each chapter features experiments to get you comfortable with the technology and then
invites you to build upon that knowledge with your own projects. Fully illustrated with step-by-
step instructions and images of amazing creations made by artists and professional
designers, this book offers a concrete understanding of electronic circuits and how you can
use them to bring your wearable projects from concept to prototype.

worlds. But this is just the beginning.
Explore and invent the future of wearable and body-centric tech!
