An update on how the LED display will animate at the back of the jacket.

An update on how the leds will be operating.
Below is a link to a video, to illustrate how will the pattern would be animated,
This is a sketch of the layout of how I intend to organise my electronics and wires.
The leds and electronics will be attached to a inner vest worn beneath the jacket at the back.
In the front, “spheres” of optic fibre will poke through the jacket, projecting the light from inside the jacket to the exterior.

Current inventory :
01 x distance sensor
01 x pulse sensor
01 x lilypad
40 x leds
01 x led strip
01 x 750m optic fibre
Plan :
Distance sensor sewn to the front, with the pulse sensor sewn on the inside of the sleeve.
The concept is how sometimes when in close proximity with people, this causes stress and anxiety.
The response I hope to achieve is, when there is someone approaching – and in the case of any stress/anxiety felt (as detected by the pulse sensor),
the leds on the jacket will start to turn on (illustrating this gush/collision, like waves onto the shore).
Front – sew optic fibre in a pattern on the sides. Shine led through the optic fibre
Back – leds grid, alternating blink to animate a ripple

Here are some inspirations for how I would like to mimic the effect of waves.
