Materials:
It would be super cool if we can visualize our body movement by soft sensors. So I decided to make something like Iron Man's Repulsor, which could accumulate energy and release plasma. The LEDs would demonstrate the charging and the discharging process.

Schematic
Prototyping by crocodile wires
My idea was using a bend sensor to detect charge and a capacitive sensor to detect release. Therefore, when I lift my hand, it should start charging, and when I click the foil, it should release and blink.
I started with making a fabric glove and sewed the circuit on the fabric. The process took some time, but the result showed great.
A simple demo shows how it works.
