Check out this cool new technology Philips is showcasing at IFA 2006 in Berlin. It’s amazing! They are integrating LEDs into fabric and had some jackets and a couch there. Really cool!
Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Philips Research intends to impress the visitors at this year’s IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung) with a world-first demonstration of promotional jackets and furniture featuring its innovative Lumalive technology. Lumalive textiles make it possible to create fabrics that carry dynamic advertisements, graphics and constantly changing color surfaces.
Fickle sports fans could have their clothes programmed for the team of the week. Arrive at the stadium an Eagles fan, switch to Cowboys during the game, back to Eagles to leave the stadium, eh?
Program an album cover (dating myself there) and go to a concert!
Family vacation picture slideshow in 20 minutes!
Dynamic camoflage!
Get your friends / co-protesters together and do a scrolling marquee!
Show a complete or short film on your back… or provide a virtual “moon” … in High-Def!
Joel, you NEED this shirt!
Those are some good ideas. Dynamic camouflage would never have occurred to me. I did, however, think of adding a graphic equalizer for concerts like the TQualiser previously featured on Joel’s Blog – and of course I would have to own a “Joel’s Blog ROCKS! shirt.
