A NEW FORM OF HYPERCOMMUNICATION:
VIDEO CLOTHES
Researchers at France Telecom have recently developed operational prototypes of flexible color screens integrated into clothing. To give you a better idea, before you mistake this with e-ink or Philips products, I recommend you watch the following video made by France Telecom (Windows Media 9 Format).
Emeric Mourot, R&D project manager:
"Clothes are becoming a key interface for giving graphic expression and form to your moods. It's a very personal symbolism, an emotion or state of mind that you can now display publicly and very simply through eye-catching animated graphics and short texts."
Roberto:
If one day, we will combine the France Telecom textile video with a "bluetooth mood ring" we could display the emotions we are experiencing on our clothes all the time. Who would have the guts to wear the mood ring and a connected video shirt at work ;-) ?
