An interactive dress that translates the body’s
movement into a corresponding light pattern.
LEDs fade in and out according to the intensity
of the movement which is detected by a tiny
sensor and processed by a microcontroller.
The technology for stretchable
electronic systems is still under
development in Berlin.

3. Solar Backpack from Voltaic
Carries your laptop and keeps your smartphone
charged. With 4 Watts of power, one hour of sun
gets you three hours of talk time and a battery
stores one and a half phone charges.

4. TV-B-Gone Jacket
The jacket uses a small universal remote control
to power down TVs in restaurants, stores and
bars. It’s activated by a switch along the zipper
made from conductive thread. The original TV-
B-Bone kit can be found from adafruit.com

5. Kamerflage Thunder Cloud
and Lightening Bolt Dress
Kamerflage technology takes advantage of the fact
that cameras see a broader spectrum of light than
human eyes. Kameraflage allows designers to
create clothes with colors that are invisible to the
naked eye yet can be seen when imaged with a
digital camera.
Connor Dickie uses this technology to bring the
Thunder Cloud to life. When you look at the
Thunder Cloud through a camera/mobile phone the
Lightening bolt is revealed.
