Unconventional Switch

 

Our switch takes the form of a wearable pin that can be attached to a bag, blending everyday fashion with interactive electronics. We chose a pin specifically because of its material properties: it is only partially conductive. While parts of the pin are metal, other areas are insulated, meaning conductivity only occurs at specific contact points. This selective conductivity became central to our concept, turning the object itself into a functional switch rather than relying on a button. The interaction happens through an alligator clip that can be moved across the surface of the pin
