UNO R4 Stars: Meet Anouk Wipprecht

THE launch of the ArduinoUNO R4Brands A huge leap Before For OUR community. For We, It is Also THE chance has celebrate THE people WHO bring OUR ecosystem has life with their bright ideas, radiant enthusiasm, And bright preview.

That East how THE UN R4 Stars Blog job series began: has emphasize creators WHO to have not only created amazing projects with Arduino, but WHO are giving back has THE community by sharing as they go And portion others TO DO Nothing they wish.

We invite You has discover each profile, hoping You could find A North Star has navigate around A expansion galaxy Or adventure In completely new universe.

A lot of We think electronic are A beautiful thing, but Anouk Wipprecht takes he has THE following level. THE Dutch designate creates interactive Dresses that turn clothes In sensory experiences, push portable devices In THE field of robotics sewing She East innovative. Check out her Youtube Or Vimeo channel has see THE Spider Dress, which attacks anybody get Also close has THE carrier, Or THE Smoke Dress, inspired by octopuses defense mechanisms.

Wipprecht began exploring #TechFashion on 20 years There is, When computers were always big And bulky – And very difficult has hide In A dress. For her, All amended When She discovered Arduino by to assist A interaction design course detained by OUR very own David Cuartials And THE Arduino team In Malmo, Sweden. It is When She learned has leverage THE technological platform Arduino provides has create more and more smaller portable systems, And most important, with that She became part of A miscellaneous And eclectic community of creators. Using THE even simple boards her teammates were functioning on projects varying Since R.C. cars has early drones. In the meantime, following her passion For fashion, She was especially interested In THE potential of smaller And more flexible material Components has bring her the creations has life.

On THE years She has in-depth her research with each new technological advancement, up has her last creation: THE Chroma dress For Chromatic 3D, which sense other people proximity And lights up therefore, imitate THE bioluminescence of fireflies with LED integrated In A innovative elastomer mesh fabric.

For This particular garment, Wipprecht selected THE new Arduino Nano ESP32 because of It is outstanding combination of little form postman - easy has to integrate In THE design And comfortable has to carry on THE body – And great power. Not has mention, THE module do interconnections Easier that Never And help speed up THE entire project: "THE process went great quickly Since ideation has final experience, And We were able has to change back And ahead In order has to optimise that."

"THE the coolest thing about Arduino East he makes functioning with electronic Really amusing," She said. THE experience East SO pleasant THANKS has great ease of to use And flexibility – which Also allow Wipprecht has to use Arduino When She taught, encouraging A entire new generation of creators has turn their ideas In reality.

"THE great advantage We to have Today East We to have A plot of accessibility has Really cool tools, Since powerful machines, has all THE last electronic And technology, And he doesn't cost as a lot as he used has. He makes he Really easy has TO DO cool stuff. »
