Intelligent clothing equipped with sensors, analyzes various external variables and the mood of the user
Why not smart clothes? Telefonica this morning in Barcelona a prototype smart dress that not only measures the constants of you saw, but that captures the information from the environment through sensors and analyzes how these variables affect these people. Then, it represents those feelings in a few other colors.
This dress, environtment called Dress, is the fourth winner of the contest project Next Things 2015-Conduct a challenge of art and technology that drives Telefonica and LABoral art center, powered by the creators Alberto Castellanos and María Valverde, artists and researchers the University of Vigo. The proposal is to combine art and technology in this wearable, and Telefonica has accompanied these artists for six months to develop the project.
The creators say that in the future the sensors can be incorporated into any garment
Made with 3D printers, the dress can be fitted with various sensors (dust, indoor and outdoor lighting, temperature, pressure ...) with magnets, which collect the data and send them to the network. The dress comes with a mobile application where the user can show your mood, then the dress shows how you feel every time the user through lights or alarms. Learns to dress as the user uses and related data with the sensors.
The idea of the creators, who have purposely exaggerated sensors for enforcar the wearable art market is that in the future these sensors can be marketed, much smaller, to fit any clothing or any company that integrates them directly in their textiles.
