Abstract
"Captain Electric and Battery Boy" refers to an ongoing research project that aims to develop electronic garments and wearable artifacts that harness power from the body and use that energy to transform themselves in a variety of ways. The paper will discuss prototypes and conceptual models that came out of two collaborative design exercises. The first set of prototypes is a selection of student projects from a winter 2008 design course. Students were presented with a brief to create an artifact for ģHuman Powered Illuminationī, a variety of human-powered flashlights, and a custom designed circuit board to collect the generated power. The second set of prototypes came out of a two-week intensive workshop held in the summer of 2008.
