Learning How to Prototype and Make Electronics Wearable

Prototyping is essential for all your circuits. What do we mean by prototyping and what do prototypes prototype? Also, what do we need to understand to make a wearable wearable? This chapter provides guidance to help generate thoughts and knowledge about human behaviors. We will learn about prototyping from breadboard to body, making it work on uneven surfaces and the natural curves of our bodies, and learning how comfort, usability, and someone’s style universe affects their relationship with a wearable. Lastly, we will examine materials and layout considerations that will get you on your way to developing your own hyper-body system to practice your new skillset.

In this chapter, you will learn the theory behind prototyping. We will understand the advantages of prototyping in different ways to get different outcomes. These methods will contribute to creating informed wearables that are functional and desirable for...
