coded cloth

this is another design idea that i have been wanting to pursui for a really long time.
interactive textiles. it all about fusing traditional textiles techniques with equisite new age technology to produce objects that react to human beings.

this is inspired off from my last project were i designed this jacket with reacted to light intensity.
coded cloth
this project stems out of my curiosity about integrating traditional textiles with equisite techology .
interactive textiles or techno textiles as its called today is used widely for medical purpose and other fields as well.
sensors are implated within the fabric to sense heart rate ortemperature.
its used at times to evoke certain feelings or emotions or regenerate certain experience.
techno textiles increase the field and area in which textiles can be used and provide a more 3-dimension perspective to it.it goes beyond just visual and touch. more sensations can be evoked.
using a soft material like textiles brings in a soft edge to other wise masculine metallic world.
