Meet the EmotiBit: a smart wearable sensor based on Arduino that can be used to capture emotional, physiological, and movement data. It also keeps you control of all the data and records everything to a built-in SD card. The device can detect over 16 biometric signals.

To get started, put EmotiBit anywhere on the body and launch the visualizer to start seeing the data. It can stream data via LSL, OSC, TCP, etc. You can download a 3D case design for it to personalize yours.

We have seen plenty of cool but expensive VR simulators in the past few years. If you know your Arduino and electronics, you can always try to build your own. matthewh8 has shared a guided that shows you what it takes to convert a hammock into a VR flying machine.

The app used for this project is running the WRLD  SKD in Unity. The hammock has an ESP8266  using Arduino code. You can use a cheap VR headset for this project.

So you would like to make cool interactive heels with Arduino? This Infinity Mirror Heart Heels project may give you a few ideas. These are heart-themed shoes with infinity mirrors and addressable LEDs. You are going to need a Qduino Mini, addressable LED strips, battery, one-way mirror, and mirrored acrylic to pull this off.

You can always program these shoes to put on a show, especially in dark rooms. More info is available here.
