Work in Progress2update

I'm going to get some materials from Dicksmith electronics and also get t-shirts for my upcoming project.

I quite like the design of the Manchester United home kit this season. Just to show you this image here, it will definately help with the design of my own LED T-shirt later on.

Wearable Design Concept

Click to Enlarge

My design is based on the four year event of the FIFA World Cup, soccer fans around the world will be coming together for a massive party.

The idea is to create a uniquely designed supporters shirts with LED on them to create lighting effect, but it is evironmentally friendly at the same time, the fans T-shirt will be powered by a solar panel. And it will have a lasting effect at night when the soccer parties on, and in the day time you can still wear them out as a stylish clothing.

The world's most visible wearable technology showcase Yet

February 11, 2005 The CTIA Wireless 2005 Convention and Expo is one of the most important technology events on the planet. Without doubt the most anticipated facet of the event each year is the "Fashion In Motion" Technology Fashion show - a cutting-edge, high-energy fashion parade incorporating wearable and wireless technology into fashion, lifestyle, health, and security applications. This year there's an opportunity for wearable technologies to participate free of charge in this important event ... but you'll need to be quick. Read on to find out why it is important and to see an array of images from last year's event.

Motorola Wearable Technology

This is a very usefull information on how wearable technology can be wear or do.

Work in Progress

I will definately starit to do some really nice sketches for this project-I had came up with a name "dance floor" Jeans just for now, hopefully I will finish my sketch drawings and upload an image file in just a few days.

How Computer Clothing Works

It is fascinating to see what MIT media lap could come up with a musical jacket. It has embeded a computer chip in it.

My design project progress update

i will do some sketches soon to help to bring my design process to the next level.

Wearable Technology-Climate Change Clothes

A danish company designed a dress that have led lights flashes according to the density of carbon dioxide in the air. If the concentration of the greenhouse gas reach a certian hight, the the leds on the dress will continuusly flashing.

This project is related to the project I'm doing right now is it also used the Audrino Lily pad to be the processing unit for this clothes which controls the level of lighting and some other effects.

My wearable technology precedent Nike+Apple

You can put a sensor inside a pocket of the insole of a NIke+ shoe. And then connect a receiver to your Ipod Nano. Iphone 3G and Ipod touch have the built in support for Nike+Ipod, so no receiver is necessary. The sensor in your Nike shoes can track the data when you run and send it back to Ipod, and if you want to listen to particular song when closing to your home stretch, you can also set it up on your Nike+Ipod supporting progreme.

The most exciting thing I have found on this particular design is that you can compete with runners worldwide on the internet, and I think it really can help us to develop a more interactive wearable design.

Musical Jacket Review

I found the musical jacket project is very interesting, because it can be used for professional musicians to enhance their performances, or even for the non-pro people to enjoy music.

Music itself can be enjoyed by all different kinds of people. And I think that if we can find a innovative way to redesign the things we wear, just like the group of people in MIT Media Laboratory started doing in 1986, it will be quite successful.

Nike+Apple

"SAN FRANCISCO, May 26, 2006 (Podtech News) — Nike and Apple have teamed up to give other athletic shoe companies a tuneful run for their money. The companies earlier this week jointly announced the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, a running shoe with a sensor that transmits information to your iPod Nano as you work out. Podtech’s Catherine Girardeau got two perspectives on this new form of wearable technology, one from Nike’s Global Director of Digital Stefan Olander, and the other from Seattle-based technologist Paul Holman."
