Concept

HaloSync is wearable light for the dancefloor, a set of LED-lit braids that respond to the movement of the person wearing them. It comes out of the rave and live-event world, where light is part of how a crowd reads a body in motion.

[Expand on the intent: self-expression, and the social language of light in that scene.]

Technical

An Adafruit FLORA microcontroller reads motion from an onboard accelerometer and drives addressable LEDs woven through the braids, so gesture and tempo shape the light in real time.

[Add: power source, LED count, how motion maps to the animation, and the wearability and safety considerations.]
