Audible Wearable: The new age is all about interactions
We shall be talking about something that’ll prove more obedient than your children, hubby or boyfriend; these are the clothing that listen, interact and react intelligently. Do we call them the iClothes?
Aptly named HearWear, these concept designs (credits go to Younghui Kim and Milena Iossifova) use the environmental decibel ranges that give you better hues to put on; these clothes create color patterns both actively and uniquely to keep at bay approaching vehicles that might otherwise fling you across a light post.
Under the hood, it’s all the gimmickry of technological advancements; it’s a microprocessor attached with a microphone that stay integrated seamlessly as a single unit with LEDs and electro-luminescent wires. The versatility of the technology also makes them compatible for use with belts and bags.
For the more technologically inclined, it is a custom-engineered PCB (printed circuit board) with chip-level programming that interprets external stimuli (sound and light) in an innovative way. There is also a sound recognition module that is driven by the micro-controller to analyze varying noise patterns and sends back the data to activate the LEDs and the EL wire. More »
