Using Twitter4J on a host PC and a little webserver magic the code for this could be accomplished in less than an hour.
macegr, I'm not going to say doing this is impossible, but given the following:
I'm a fashion student in Amsterdam. My group is trying to make this interactive coat. We are not very experienced with the codes and programming and we have very little time left before our exhibition (1 week left).
...unless they can find somebody who is experienced in the short amount of time they have (which isn't impossible; I've seen far larger projects come about in a shorter amounts of time) - they're going to find it difficult if not impossible for them to implement it.
What I find curious is how long have they had this project to do, and how much of their time budget was spent on the important part of the hardware/software interface? Why was this left to "last minute"; why wasn't it developed concurrent with the development of the garment itself?
It appears that this was a project that requires a bit of planning and coordination in order for it to be successfully implemented, and someone somewhere dropped the ball.
Good luck on the implementation - you'll need all you can get!
