Weekly Log
Overview
We plan on making a vest that is covered in lights. The vest will be connected to a users phone, where the user can turn on the vest and alter the settings to that the lights flash and respond to their surroundings. We are incorporating sensors into the vest to that the lights will reflect the user’s surroundings.
