Glove prototype begins

I have successfully attached the Flexor to a glove to continue my glove prototype. I bought some black silky gloves at a dance store. Strangely, choosing the color was a challenge: black, red or white? I ended up choosing black as I felt it had less significance than red or white. I pierced a small hole into the end of the flexor plastic and sewed it directly to the glove, then just looped the thread around flexor and tacked it to the glove. I want it to be able to move around a bit when the hand was moving. I hope the glove will stretch to fit any hand, but at this point, it makes an adequate prototype.
I attached the glove to the Arduino and then ran my Processing program. It works really well! So now I must move to creating graphics and pulling the Weather API and Twitter search results into a Processing sketch. I;m hoping it won’t be too mind bending. I also really want to strive to make the graphics as analog as possible, perhaps by creating some recursive movement, just to add more randomness. Onward and forward.
Okay, *that* looks cool. Looking forward to see where this goes! hope you’re well…
