Instructables has posted a new article on making a musical bra – an undergarment that “makes music when touched.” The strange DIY project makes use of conductive fabric, nickel-plated sew snaps and conductive thread to embed circuits into the garment. We’re not sure about the playing technique one would use with a musical bra -but… Read More How Do You Play A Musical Bra?
Scientists at Keio University in Japan are pioneering new types of clothing, inspired by analog synthesis, that can change color to match various outfits. The hi-tech clothing is an example of current research into wearable computers. A color-shifting “chameleon shawl”, developed by Akira Wakita, incorporates red, blue and green light-emitting dioedes(LEDs). By varying the brightness… Read More Japanese Experimenting with Wearable Synthesis
