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.
