Details
Process
Development images showing fabric prototyping and circuit testing. Vibration motor was tested against different materials for its vibration strength - a plastic arcrylic paint holder was used in the end. Additionally, a breadboard and push button were initially used, but later removed due to the addition of an 'on / off' switch on the new battery pack.
