Blu-Jacket Design Concept
Posted on: May 05, 2008

The Blu-Jacket you see here is designed by Lunar and uses flexible organic e-paper to show passers-by your current mood (that is, if they're not too hot when it comes to reading facial expressions), a choice of subway maps (as shown) or even play back advertisements. I wonder how sustainable this is - after all, it would give plenty of 'wolves' out there an excuse to stare at an ample chest, claiming that they're trying to trace their train route from home to the workplace. Anyways, this will probably be out of reach for most people as electronic fabric isn't exactly the cheapest in the whole world and chances are it will cost many thousands of dollars.

We'll probably first see that kind of technology for military applications - think "adaptive camouflage"... a jacket that can be switched between wood, desert, urban, snow, whatever cammo paterns easily, maybe even detect the background colours around you...
