About the Author

Tony Olsson works as a lecturer at the University of Malmö, where he teaches multiple design fields with the core being physical prototyping and wearable computing. His research includes haptic interactions and telehaptic communication. Olsson has a background in philosophy and traditional arts, but later shifted his focus to interaction design and computer science. He is also involved in running the IOIO laboratory at Malmö University.

Besides his work at the university, he also works as a freelance artist/designer and author. Prior to this publication, Olsson published two books based on wearable computing and prototyping with Arduino and Arduino-based platforms.

I would like to thank all the people and students of the IOIO laboratory and the K3 institution, both current and past. The work we do together has always been inspiring. Thanks to my sister and mother for all their support. A special thanks to David Cuartielles and Andreas Göransson. Without our endeavors together, this book probably would have never been written. I would also like to thank Hemal and Pooja at Packt; it has been a true pleasure working with them on this book. I'd also like to thank the rest of the Arduino team, Massimo Banzi, David Mellis, and Tom Igoe, for their impressive work with Arduino; and the Arduino community, which remains the best in the world. Last but not least, I would like to thank Jennie, I can only hope to repay all the support and understanding she has given me during the process of writing this book.
