For this assignment, I decided to create a Batman mask. With the help of Rhino I designed this mask and printed it in the laser cutter.\\
For bottom layer I used felt. Because the felt has a laser-cut defect I made a second layer with a partial eye mask out of imitation leather.

__Laser Cutter settings: Speed, Power, Frequency__ \\
Felt = 20%, 15%,16%\\
Imitation leather = 20%, 9%, 16%

As a light source, I worked with Neopixel which I decided to connect with cables which I soldered to the Neopixel. Cables are very reliable in contrast to conductive ink but a little bit tricky to hide behind the mask.\\
I used an ATTiny 85 which we programmed with the Arduino as ISP programmer using the Adafruit Neopixel sketch. Once programmed, I connected the ATTiny with the Neopixel.\\
Because the ATTiny only works with a battery I also had to connect a battery holder which is able to carry two 3Volt button cells.

For the Neopixel I made little holes in the mask using a hole plier. Unfortunately, the Neopixel would not stay completely in place so I also taped them to the mask.\\
