Imagine a skirt that sparkles with a rainbow of colors as you walk, dance, and twirl. The Skirt Full of Stars is an illuminated, interactive garment using the Lilypad Arduino platform - it gathers information about the wearer's movement, then translates that into changing colors for the integrated fiber optic lights.
