Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This suit vibrates when asteroids near Earth”.
Hey, what’s up its Lizzie from The Verge, I’m currently wearing the saris jumpsuit from wearable media and it’s vibrating and letting up right now, based on asteroid activity near Earth, while other wearable companies usually track our bodies. Wherever media wants to use the clothes that we wear on our bodies to track the world around us, we are focused on integrating meaningful data and interactions into garments with enhancement of Technology. Cirrus is a jumpsuit that senses asteroids in real time. I’M the first person hyper. Why are they yeah? We just we just finished this new prototype.
It feels like I’m wearing. What I assume are swimming spacesuit would be like so we’re putting on what’s called a puck on the back of the jumpsuit inside-the-park. It has the microcontroller that’s receiving the data and also sending data to the vibration motors and the LED. So the LED is communicating two types of information.
One is the speed of the asteroid. Another one is the distance, so the brighter it is the closer it is to the earth and then the faster the LED is traveling. The faster the asteroids are traveling, so the vibrations that I’m feeling buzzing on my those are from different asteroids circling. It’S basically an exploration of turning our human form into a celestial sensing body, because you know space in many ways seems imperceptible less.
So we wanted to create a story like how can we bring the awareness of it on to our bodies and know that we live in? You know a greater Kosmos and an exploration of that. The cool thing to me about this is: it can change from minute to minute, basically like the vibrations and the lights you’re, I’m kind of existing in this in a constantly changing thing, which is cool because my no rules – let’s don’t do that – also, I feel a Little bit comforted it’s kind of like a heavy blanket, but randomly vibrates or these all parts that you use in this particular yes yeah and then here we have different versions of the park design. So this one from the left side is the beginning of the timeline. Basically – and this is closest to the final pocket, which is what you’re wearing right now and so what’s inside the fact, there is one micro controller which you can think it as a brain of this garment.
It has two Bluetooth communication as wirelessly talking to a mobile app. It can up get the updated mirrors. Asteroids data on your shoulder, which is the vibration motor, so the raw of schmolitor is a small disc that keeps while keeps vibrating yeah. So if you touch that one, these are really strong, would this be like the strongest one yeah, that’s the strongest level.
Luckily, we don’t have any nearest asteroids around us. That’S close that close. If I was out at about doing something and by whole shirt, started vibrating. This much I’d get kind of nervous. Next, with a little help from the people around me, I eventually managed to try on Audrey it’s an augmented reality shirt that reveals the users Instagram aura.
I couldn’t tell what my aura looked like, but the people around me said it looked cool. So when you worried and when we hold up in front of you and we can see all the graphics that’s generated from our Instagram account we’re using code to generating these particles, that’s like floating around you and the colors are reflecting our Instagram posts. Our garments. We want our audience when they wear it, they feel this is something they’re passionate about. They know the designers cares about something that they also cares about as well, and they feel a sense of exploration and bravery and excitement when they were into wearable.
Media’S prototypes still feel pretty unusual. Even in New York City, you probably won’t run into someone wearing an asteroid jumpsuit, but all together they paint a pretty interesting picture of what kinds of clothes we could be wearing 20, 30 or 50 years from now. So the saris jumpsuits going to be available in September of 2018 to buy until then keep it locked to the verge calm and we’re about to give me the founders of wearable media studios. This is a Holloway.
Damn it’s a cool building! Yeah! That’S us! .
