I built this glove as part of the Element14.com 2014 IoT holiday lights contest. I used a Adafruit Pro Trinket, a color sensor and ESP8266 to catch the colors and send it out as MQTT messages that can subscribed by other devices with MQTT capabilities. ( for example a LED wall washer or a LED Strip driven by a Arduino Yun or other WiFi capable devices. )
It can be easily modified to use other communication protocols instead of mqtt.
