Expressive Wearable: Cobra Chrest

Cobra Crest is an innovative wearable designed to help users express frustration in two ways. Inspired by the biomimicry of a cobra, it features a hood that expands to signal a warning to those nearby.
Skills:
Arduino, Prototyping
This low-resolution model demonstrates the expression of frustration. A clenched fist triggers the first signal, causing the hood to rise until the pressure is released. The second signal occurs when the user clenches a fist and slams it down on a surface, prompting the hood to fully expand and glow for 5 seconds.
