Wearable controller

A wearable controller, the controller comprising:

• a garment including a plurality of connection points;
• a set of pads detachably secured to the garment, each pad of the set of pads being attached to a respective connection point of the plurality of connection points, the set of pads including:
• one or more contact pads;
• and
• one or more activation pads for activating the one or more contact pads;
• and
• a programmable central controller circuit that is operable to:
• determine an arrangement of the set of pads on the garment, including:
• identifying first connection points of the plurality of connection points that are attached to a contact pad;
• identifying second connection points of the plurality of connection points that are attached to an activation pad;
• and
• select, from a plurality of selectable profiles and based on the arrangement of the set of pads on the garment, a particular profile that assigns pairs of contact pads and activation pads to generate an input when in contact with one another,
• wherein the one or more contact pads are each electrically connected to the central controller circuit through the respective connection points, and are operable to generate input signals in response to user action, such that an input signal is registered by the central controller circuit only when a contact pad contacts a paired activation pad identified by the particular profile.
