Wearable Mix Kicks makes music when you stamp your feet

Music is life and it is even better to be part of this life with your entire being. And, with Mix Kicks, you can actually do so. Mix Kicks is basically a wireless instrument that is embed within the clothing. It allows you to mix beats with your gestures and movements. Your movement like stamping the feet will let you make the beats, which is done with the help of electronics that are embed with the clothes. If you need to select the sample, then all you need to do is zip up the zipper. Once the sample is selected, the left shoe will play it and the right will loop it. This project uses arduino lilypad, Bluetooth, and maxmsp. According to one of the user’s comment on Fashioningtech, it also used 2 x Force Sensitive Resistor 12mm, experimented with xbee as well but Bluetooth gave better range and easier to use.
