Aniomagic's Button-Schemer

Nwanua Elumeze founder of Aniomagic, a leader in the field of computational textiles & electronic fashion,discusses their latest e-textile product the button-schemer:

I'm excited to announce Button-schemer, an ambient program reader the size of a nickel which is programmable with specially timed flashes of light. To load a program, simply hold it in front of your computer screen or PDA and its builtin light sensor automatically records the program, so you never have to connect any wires. After writing your program within a web-browser, a javascript-based scheme interpreter evaluates it and flashes a part of the screen, sending the program to the Button-schemer.
This method allows you to embed entire programs in a movie or animation, or use one Button-schemer to program another Button-schemer directly. The concept of embedding programs within experiences (flashes of light at an exhibition, barcodes expressed as shades of light in a painting, or notes in a song, and so on), is very compelling.
Key point: in order to change the style/color of your purse, pendant, bracelet, shirt, or wall art, just hold it up to a computer, tv, or phone. This is the future we're inventing.Watch related video here
