Let’s face it, you’d be quite trapped without the technology you use every day. There will be no automated coffee maker, iPhone, or GPS to assist you in crashing your automobile. What would you do if you couldn’t even get to work? Scientists and designers all around the world are coming up with new methods to incorporate technology into every aspect of your life, not happy with the death hold they now have on you.
This is where electronic clothing comes in. Computers, lights, and a variety of other gadgets are included in these garments and accessories, bringing you into the modern era. Why wear ordinary clothes when the latest trends will transform you into a walking multimedia sensation? Some of these outfits may even save your job. Below are the ten trendiest electrical outfits of the twenty-first century. Take in the scenery, but don’t attempt to wear everything at once.
10. Cute Circuit’s GalaxyDress:
Do you want to create a strong first impression at a formal event? Consider donning a gown that is entirely covered with flashing lights. Cute Circuit’s Galaxy Dress is a lavish illustration of what occurs when technology collides head-on with haute couture. Apologies to all those fashionistas hoping to be the brightest belle at the ball; the Galaxy Dress is one-of-a-kind and now on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Lady Gaga is likely to try to take this item at any moment, so maybe security has been stepped up. Hey, every now and again,
- Electronic Hoodies You Can Make Yourself
When you can manufacture your own computerized apparel, there’s no reason to buy it. The Lilypad, a circuit board engineered to be readily sewed onto clothing, will be sold by Arduino. You may then connect some LEDs, speakers, or whatever else you wish. And by anything you want, we obviously mean a hoodie, since what do DIYers wear other than hoodies?
The Arduino Lilypad is undoubtedly an excellent alternative for those of us with a little electronics know-how to construct some kick-ass electronic-wear. The sky really is the limit. You can make a hoodie that tells time, a hoodie with a GPS chip, a hoodie that monitors your heart rate…any hoodie you can imagine. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever That’s a sensitive subject for them.
8. The Data Logging Shirt:
Sports injuries can take years to heal, and they might cost you a lot more than time if you’re a professional player. Pitching injuries, according to reports, cost Major League Baseball $54 million in salary investments each year. Three Northeastern University students sought to change that with the ultimate
in a scientific outfit During each pitch of the ball, the data recording shirt captures how your body moves. Managers will be able to monitor their players’ performance from the dugout and pull them off the mound before they start throwing pitches that may destroy their arm in the future, thanks to a wireless version. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll all be wearing this gear to keep track of our health. My clothing is telling me I have pneumonia, doctor.
- The Hugging Shirt… What happened to The Pants?
The Hug Shirt, also by Cute Circuit, is based on a simple premise: we all want to reach out and touch someone. The shirt links to your phone through Bluetooth, which then sends data to another phone and a second Hug Shirt. The upside is that you can transmit vibrations, heat, and tingly deliciousness to a loved one wearing a Hug Garment anywhere around the world simply squeezing the colored pads on the shirt. It’s wonderful to get a long-distance embrace, but the wicked potential are also clear. The Hug Shirt received a Time Best Inventions Award in 2006, so the trousers version should be here any day soon.
- Controlled Clothes
So you want to include electronics into your clothing but don’t want to undertake all of the design work yourself. Fibretronics should be contacted. They are the world’s leading manufacturer of wearable electronics. The company’s ConnectedWear range incorporates integrated controls into a variety of garments. Do you want a backpack that can manage your iPhone wirelessly? Done. A winter coat that connects to your GPS tracker?
I already have one. What about garage-door-opening pants? They have the ability to make it happen. Heating components, lighting systems, and even direct communication devices are all included. It’s possible that your socks are walkie-talkies! While Fibretronics primarily works with apparel businesses (thus the NorthFace jacket in the photo), you may purchase some of these devices for personal use. They also provide a simple setup video to assist you in connecting your garments to your mobile devices. Nifty.
- Costumes that Pay Attention
So you’re a fan of the Galaxy Dress but wish it was sound-sensitive? Check out Show-of-products. Light’s These electronic clothing pioneers aren’t so much creating garments as they are creating mind-blowing outfits. All of SoL’s most eloquent performers have flashing lights and fiber optics that respond to music. Check for ballet dancers. Check for ice skaters. What about opera singers? Oh heck yeah. Watch Cary Ann Rosko crush your heart with impromptu notes as her clothing gives you psychedelic recollections.
4. Autism Scarves,
Autism is a serious condition that affects a growing number of people. Clothing may not be able to treat a child’s disease, but it may certainly assist them when they are anxious. The Beagle, a scarf that individuals may wrap around themselves, was invented by Leo Chao, an Emily Carr University student. When an autistic person is overstimulated, texture, noises, and even scents create a relaxing cocoon that will distract and comfort them. It’s the electronic equivalent of a blankie with health advantages. Linus van Pelt would be happy of Chao’s design, which earned an award.
- The Body Part That Doesn’t Require Extra Attention
The coolest people in the globe are geeks. Even more so for female nerds. Chung-Hay Luk, an electronics hobbyist and student, has created a light-up bra. Because, yes, a light show is required for breasts. But, seriously, I have to commend Luk on her skilled usage of Aniomagic’s Schemer chip to make her 5-LED system flash in intriguing patterns. I nearly forgot I was looking at someone’s undergarments. What portion of this eye-drawing effort is the most amusing? “Another light-up bra,” Luk says. Yes, she’s created others. This is why the Earth will be inherited by the Geek.
2. Is Your Ring…Ringing? I’m Sorry, Is Your Ring…Ringing?
Okay, we can’t talk about electronic clothing without including electrical accessories. At the same time, the ORB functions as two computerized accoutrements. It’s a Bluetooth-enabled gadget that pairs with your smartphone. Wear it as a ring, and the little screen will notify you when you receive a call, including the caller’s ID. If that wasn’t fantastic enough, the ring unfolds into a headset that wraps around your ear when you answer a call! The ORB employs bone conduction to transfer sound directly into your skull, rather than a traditional speaker. That’s really remarkable stuff, and it’s no surprise that Hybra Advanced Technology’s gadget received prizes at CES 2010.
- Shirt of your choice ThinkGeek has been sold…forever.
When it comes to electrical clothing, one brand stands out above the others. The computerized clothing collection from ThinkGeek ranges from marginally practical to deviously fun. Every single one is almost a need. Do you have any doubts? The drum kit shirt is Exhibit A:
For those who prefer George over Ringo, they also have a guitar shirt. ThinkGeek provides a WiFi detector tee (and baseball cap) as well as a sound equalization tee if you’re looking for some functional clothing. Exhibit B is the greatest of this subgenre: a garment that allows you to stalk your buddies.
Okay, so the Locked On shirt only works within 3 meters (though it would still be nice for rival cubicle slave tribes), but I’ve saved the best for last. The Personal Soundtrack Shirt is Exhibit C for ThinkGeek’s electronic clothing dominance. A speaker on the tee allows you to broadcast a variety of music to accompany those occasions in your life when you truly need it. Not happy with the pre-installed sounds? You may save your files on an SD memory card, which you can then plug in. This tee is the epitome of geeky chic and personalization. Which is why The Big Bang Theory squeezed all the laughs they could out of its use.
