Philips Design announced today that it has developed a seriesof dynamic garments as part of the ongoing SKIN exploration research into the area known as ‘emotional sensing’. The garments, which are intended for demonstration purposes only, demonstrate how electronics can be incorporated into fabrics and garments in order to express the emotions and personality of the wearer.
The marvelously intricate wearable prototypes include ‘Bubelle’, a dress surrounded by a delicate ‘bubble’ illuminated by patterns that changed dependent on skin contact- and ‘Frison’, a body suit that reacts to being blown on by igniting a private constellation of tiny LEDs. » Continue Reading

The display of 2D images is fundamental to nearly all forms of visual presentation, and pursuing display methods based on insight of human perception may reveal many new possibilities. Information display should be thought of as a conjunction of both the human and the device, and there are still many resources available on the human side. Here, we propose a 2D information display system, which uses perceptional features during eye movements. » Continue Reading

Ingo Maurer presented two very large lighting objects at Spazio Krizia 2006 in Milan earlier this month: LED wallpaper (above with a luminous table in the foreground) and a magic carpet of green circuit boards and LEDs suspended from the ceiling, both with adjustable colored LEDs. Says Ingo, ”New technologies and materials constantly spark my interest and imagination. We work with highly innovative technology – as well as simple materials – to give form to my aesthetical ideas, sometimes called poetic.”. » Continue Reading

NASA believes that aircraft of the future can mimic the flight of birds, flying more efficiently and safely. This video shows what NASA has observed in the flight of an eagle that can be translated into a concept for a future aircraft. For example, just as a bird uses different feathers on its wings to control flight, aircraft wing shapes can be designed to change and adapt to constantly changing conditions of flight. Or, an aircraft can mimic the way a bird lands, greatly decreasing the amount of fuel and runway space required. » Continue Reading
