I'm especially intrigued at the bike jacket idea. Having a turn signal visible at night would make me feel much safer riding home after dark. The only question I have is whether the sensor could be made accurate enough to reliably detect the turning gesture, and not trigger spuriously.
Whoops, I locked myself out of the site using anti-procrastination settings :(.
Anyway, this is josh, who created this board. I'm here to talk about the project and answer technical questions. This board is actually a pretty involved system, and I'm happy to give people a better sense of how it works!

There's also a github link with the source for the demos if people want to look around: https://github.com/foolish-products/whoa-core-proto4
We'll ship the code with a cleaned up library and everything, but wanted to share the current state of the world to provide:
1. A behind the scenes look at an embedded system still forming.
2. Demonstrate our intention of building an open source ecosystem on this device!
