The Pineapple Project is a party-augmenting wearable that produces sounds when it sustains an impact. The concept was to make a wearable that would make the user act differently with its different physical size than usual. We settle on bumping since it would be the opposite of how user usually react with their physical bodies. The pineapple has several piezo disc sensors fixed to it, which detect impacts . The electronics of the project are all controlled via Arduino.

Process/Concept
Upon impact, I coded that depending on the inclination forward/backward and tilt right/left, the sound would change depending on that. We used an accelerometer to get the data we needed to understand the user's movement.
