Maker Faire Bay Area 2015

May 15th-17th

Exhibit 3D Printing

Makers Jenn and Zach teamed up to create an eye-dazzling wearable light show for nighttime festivals. Fiber optics and addressable LEDs illuminate a handmade dress and a tuxedo jacket in colorful, ever-changing patterns. LED space helmets, too!
