process - evolution of the form and details
- Size and pocket test With the size and pocket test we wanted to get a feel for the size and weight, as well as try out how we could embed the sensitive electronic components into the silicone. - 1 m long scarf of silicone with a pocket for electronics in one end, and 4 magnets, one in each corner
The scarf form was made in a mold. The pocket was made by placing an Arduino sized cardboard piece inside a plastic bag merged into the silicone. The scarf proved to be too heavy and hard to handle, because of the amount of silicone we had to use to embed the magnet and making the pocket. The pocket wouldn’t work properly, but we got a good insight in how we could make the pocket for the final prototype, without increasing the weight and thickness of the silicone.
