For my project I would like to make a LED shirt that changes color depending on body temperature. I would love to have an entire shirt covered with LEDs, but I don’t think that it will be possible right now, so maybe some LEDs forming the shape of a Heart, or something else, in the middle of the shirt might be ok. The colors would change according to the temperature of the person’s body wearing the shirt. I am thinking about a blue light for a lower temperature, a yellow for a regular body temperature and a red light for a higher temperature.
For this project I will need a shirt, an Arduino LilyPad board, an usb cable, colored LEDs, a temperature sensor, a breadboard, wires, resistors, a battery and a sewing kit.

Wearable computing that displays things about the wearer’s physiological state has some potential. It might be nice to think of some specific thing you would want it to solve. Examples: is it for people to wear while exercising to show that they are really working hard or to warn that they might be over exerting themselves (handy for a marathon if you want observers to keep an eye out for someone who is about to get heat stroke)? is it for dancers who want to have the lights kick in and do something fancy but only when they are really pushing themselves to impress an audience? Is it part of a theatrical costume? (if so what sort of show would it be for? Shakespeare in the park? Broadway musical? Cirque Du Soleil?) etc
The basic idea is solid (the sensors are easy, there is a lot you can do with wearable electronics, plenty of LED choices out there) now just think of ways you could apply it to some specific task in the real world. Also try to look at some of the other projects and look for ways you could combine your basic idea. with theirs.
We have a bunch of strips of RGB leds around (flexible plastic with an LED every three inches or so
