VCNL4000 Proximity/Light sensor
I like how this is basically a cheap combination of two sensors. I actually built a tiny robot in high school freshmen year and had just a cheap touch sensor to work with in order for it to navigate through a maze. Why couldn’t I have this back then?
I really did not know that a color sensor had been developed, much less a pretty cheap one. I’m mostly interested in how functional it is and how it would bring new options to the usual physical computing art of limited color palette.
Flora Wearable Ultimate GPS Module
It’s a sewable GPS module. Wearable art is awesome, but wearable art combined with technology is even cooler. I can see possibilities of combining this module with other sensors on the cloth.
