Product

There are a lot of products on Amazon and other online shopping websites that have clothing with integrated LEDs that dance around to the sounds around but I wasn’t able to find one that does this on a real costume.

Some examples of sound activated LED shirts:

Additionally, there are a lot of project online that use microcontrollers such as Arduino along with LEDs and a simple microphone to create visual effects that go along with the sound. Yet again, I wasn’t able to find a version with any superhero comics or Halloween costumes.

Some of the examples I found online:

In the end, I think that none of these products or projects can give you the satisfaction of wearing your custom made costume with wearable electronics during a Halloween party. I believe that it would be even easier in the following years as electronics get smaller and more durable, we will be able to make crazier clothes that incorporate circuits and smart elements.
