I’ve got this idea for a period drama—what if an antique lace glove could double as a silent cue system? How would you wire that?
Nice! Think of the glove as a tiny, flexible circuit board. Run a strip of fine conductive yarn along the edge—like a silk ribbon that carries a tiny voltage. When a performer presses a hidden button on the cuff, the yarn changes resistance, sending a pulse through the lace to a small receiver tucked in the actor’s pocket. The receiver buzzes subtly or flashes a discreet LED, giving the cue without breaking the period look. Keep the wiring in the glove’s seam so it’s invisible, and use low‑power LEDs so the whole system stays quiet and looks like pure lace.
