The LilyPad Arduino is the brains of this operation. It's currently connected to an LED for output and a temperature sensor for input, sewn onto a Tibetan robe. At the time of shooting, the program would alert the wearer when 'too cold' was reached. One possible use of something like this is to warn people of potential frostbite conditions or if chronic exposure may lead to arthritis. In mind I had the idea that women gathering dung for about 5 hours per day everyday could use this during the 4 months of the year that temperatures are constantly below -10C + wind chill. This was only a proof-of-concept, and hopefully with the availability of these components, people will find a use for them in their own lives.
