Upshot: you can get a 32 bit microcontroller into yarn now; this is a pretty ‘full stack’ proof of concept including wireless charging, sensors and pose / activity estimation done remotely via wireless sensor data from the chips.
I read a sci-fi story in the 90s or so that mentioned the measurement of flops/cubic meter of space in our solar system as a way of thinking about how smart the environment was, and this reminds me of that.
Sadly the history of embedded devices shows that, as smart as my sweater gets, it will 100% be rootable by even moderately motivated 15 year olds while it simultaneously makes it impossible for me to use outside of a vendor controlled cloud walled garden.
Still. This is really cool.
