Valérie Lamontagne’s Strokes & Dots series outfit is inspired by early Modernist representations of speed, graphic design, abstract art and technology. The outfit is created with digital printing techniques and LED arrays connected to sensors. The lights react to body movements or environmental changes. If you're a 21st century Martha Stewart you can even assemble your own DIY Strokes & Dots ensemble.
Meg Grant’s Lace Sensor dresses let the dress become the music. The custom made lace fabric is embedded with conductive metallic fibers that permit the public to listen to audio recordings of poems embroidered on each of the individual dresses. Tiny embedded speakers crocheted into the dress project the sound.
Drum Pants make you a one person band. They use a sensor based drum that’s worn in the legs of the pants. Tapping on the pant’s sensors can unleash more than 100 sounds. Share the beat with the world through an optional speaker or perfect your beats in silence using plug in headphones. Sold as wearable sensor strips the drums can be attached and removed easily from any clothing. Available as a Kickstarter project at http://ift.tt/1oPn829.
Rain can be beautiful, especially when your clothing reacts to it. Rainbow Winters’ Orange Tip Butterfly Dress uses embedded sensors that adapt to changes in the atmosphere's moisture content. As it senses moisture the fabric panels on the dress turn orange.
Heapsylon' Sensoria is the wearable technology that's built into the washable Sensoria Fitness T-Shirt. You can snap the Sensoria heart monitor, or another company’s, into the front of the shirt. The shirt's high tech insert transmits body monitoring data to either the Sensoria mobile app or the fitness app of your choice. From at http://ift.tt/14M6Aig
Clever, beautiful and functional. That describes the Netatmo, designed by French jewelry designer Camille Toupet. It's a bracelet that measures sun exposure. It features a chic jewel sensor on a sleek double wrap genuine leather band. Its companion iOS app alerts wearers of excessive sun exposure, tracks daily sun habits and features personalized coaching and recommendations to help women take better care of their skin.
Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Well, now you can wear your moods on your neck. Kristin Neidlinger of Sensoree designed the GER MOOD sweater to let those around you see how you’re feeling. Thanks to a sensor that measures Galvanic Skin Response, often an indicator of emotion, the sweater can interpret the input and change colors. See a red collar? That means stay away.
