A dress with 35 old circuit boards stitched together

is not for everyone. But Nicky Assmann, who built the dress

over a four month period, says she chose circuit boards as

the fabric for her dress because she liked their look.

Twelve coils are incorporated into the dress, each

of which is played by connecting it to one another through

copper nger plates. The musical composition results as the

ngers explore the dress. There are two speakers on the

front of the dress, and the entire dress runs on batteries.

The straps on the dress are made from electric ca-

bles that are are used for rewiring the circuit-bended board

from the back to the coils to the front. Its very functional,

says Assmann, since it solved the problem of where to leavethe wires.

The GalaxyDress is embroidered with 24000 color

LEDs, it is the largest wearable display in the world. Con-

structed using the smallest full-color LEDs that are at like

paper and measuring only 2 by 2 mm.

The bodice includes some embroidery with glow-in-the-dark

yarns that light up when bright articial light is shined on them.

The blazer is woven with stretch bers and yarn made of

PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate, a clear plastic thats often used

as a replacement for glass). The PMMA yarn transmits LED light.

LEDs are attached at about a 90 degree angle to the yarn so withthe help of a battery, the entire dress can glow in the dark.

For a modern take on a traditional rug, Dorith Sjardijn em -

bedded electroluminescent material into a hand-tufted wool carpet.

The resulting piece called 8 Bitskleed feels familiar, despite its eerie

glow.

I wanted to take a traditional craft like carpet weaving into

the future, says Sjardijn, whos a textile designer.

Its created by tufting bers of the electroluminescent mate-

rial into an existing carpet and backed the entire rug with rubber for

durability.

Philips Design announced today that it has devel-

oped a seriesof dynamic garments as part of the ongoing

SKIN exploration research into the area known as emotion-

al sensing. The garments, which are intended for demon-

stration purposes only, demonstrate how electronics can be

incorporated into fabrics and garments in order to expressthe emotions and personality of the wearer.

A Smartex shape memory wire can be woven or knitted

in a fabric providing smart new functions to a textile. Superelastic

fabrics and conformable textiles can be produced using SMA wires.

A SMA fabric can be also used as a reinforce layer in smart com-

posites, adding new functionalities.

Possible applications are:

Smart fabrics for rehabilitation

Conformable surfaces for aerodynamics

Thermo activating fabrics

Superelastic fabrics for sports apparel

MIT researchers are working to develop bers that can hear

and produce sound, and someday those could take the form of

wearable electronics.

The ancients used clothes for the same reason that we do,

which is thermal insulation and aesthetics, Yoel Fink, associate

professor of materials science and principal investigator at MITs

Research Lab of Electronics, told Wired.com. What we have done

is start thinking how bers go beyond that and change their proper-

ties.

Fink and his team hope their latest research will result

in bers that can be fashioned into clothes capable of capturing

speech, textiles that can measure blood ow in the capillaries or

nets that can double as sound sensors.

Line a whole wall with these bers and you could get a very

interesting surround-sound system, says Abouraddy, who isnt in-

volved in the research.

The Body Speaker

The Body Speaker, which is worn in direct contact with the

body, places sound-capturing membranes on the skin and directs

the sound signals to a control system.

van Heck says she was inspired by the fact that technology

such as X-rays and CT scans make it easy to look inside the hu -

man body.By hearing the sounds from our own body we become

aware of our own existence and the condition and necessities of

our body, she says. In times of stress we tend not to listen to our

bodies quite enough and take it for granted.

A breakthrough in wearable computing lets researchers

change ordinary cotton and polyester into electronic textiles that

can double as rechargeable batteries.

Wearable electronics is an attempt to create a new cate-

gory of devices that are exible and lightweight such as wearable

displays, embedded health monitors and textiles with electronics

melded in. In case of textiles, though, most attempts, so far, to

integrate electronics involve patching sensors and resistors on to

existing fabric.

A biosensor is an analytical device for the detection of an

analyte that combines a biological component with a physicochemi-

cal detector component.

It consists of 3 parts:

01. the sensitive biological element (biological material (eg. tissue,

microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies,

nucleic acids, etc), a biologically derived material or biomimic) The

sensitive elements can be created by biological engineering.

02. the transducer or the detector element (works in a physico-

chemical way; optical, piezoelectric, electrochemical, etc.) that

transforms the signal resulting from the interaction of the analyte

with the biological element into another signal (i.e., transducers)

that can be more easily measured and quantied

03. associated electronics or signal processors that are primarily

responsible for the display of the results. This sometimes accounts

for the most expensive part of the sensor device, however it is pos-

sible to generate a user friendly display that includes transducer

and sensitive element(see Holographic Sensor).

The aim of the e-Pressed project is to communicate nega-

tive emotions such as grief, sadness, pain, fear or anger in a new

way, a way to create awareness in the wearer and in others and

possible interaction between people.

Bio sensors placed around the shirt pick up the level of

stress or anxiety of the wearer and indicate this via embeddedLEDs.

Fast blinking indicates a high level of irritation and once

the therapy, the interaction with another person via acupuncture

points on the shirt starts, the LEDs ashing frequency slows down

in sync with the relaxation level of the wearer until the light goes off,

indicating a balanced emotional stage.

The shirt itself is made of two layers, inside and outside

layer with the buttons of the pressure areas and the LEDs placed

between the inner and outer garment layer.

The galvanic skin response sensor is connected to the Ar-

duino board. The wearer of the shirt has to connect two ngers of

his/her left hand to the sensor.

Wearable Absence is an interactive garment that functions

as an interface for a database of digital memories.

Through the use of wireless technology and bio-sensors,

users of the garment are able to retrieve archived information from

an absent persons life via a mobile application.

Whats interesting about this project is that the user has no

real control of when and how they receive these digital memories.

The ow of information is unconsciously triggered by bio-sensors

that monitor the physical state of the wearer.

The lining has been embroidered with conductive threads

and electronic components including super-bright white LEDs.

Three small photocells were stitched to the outside of the dress

and detect ambient light. Depending on the quantity of light that is

sensed, different ashing patterns are triggered in the LED display,

reminiscent of lightning effects that can accompany severe weathersituations.

This is a OEM module for the Polar Heart Rate system. This

device works with any Polar heart rate strap to pickup the electro-

magnetic pulse and output a 1ms pulse indicating a heart beat has

occurred

Some experiments with the Arduino as a capacitive sensor.

All it requires is a 10 M resistor and a piece of wire. I was able to

sense a hand about four inches from my 1.5 sq aluminum foil sen-

sor.
