Pong Prom
I've designed a set of hoodies which allow the wearers to play pong by slow dancing with each other. An accelerometer attached at the base of the neck allows each player to move their paddle by rocking their partner back and forth. The whole thing runs on the Lilypad Arduino platform, with serial communication between the microcontrollers being carried out through conductive patches on the shoulders, cuffs, and waist.

I checked out your Interactive Formalwear video yesterday. It looks great!

Thanks for the direct link. I love how the awkwardness of a slow dancing is amplified by their movements to try and control the pong game. Nice work, can't wait to see more of your stuff.
