Industrial Designer Brian Garret explored opportunities of mass-customization in his graduation thesis “User Customization through Rapid Manufacturing” in collaboration with Freedom Of Creation and Eindhoven University of Technology in 2009.
The outcome is a series of customizable headphone designs. These headphones are a manufactured through state of the art rapid manufacturing technologies, this allows each headphone to be personalized with the customers music taste.
This music taste forms a decorative textual pattern around the headband of the headphone showing everyone your favorite bands, song texts or lyrics.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
