Reading BBC’s technology website I found an interesting article which discussed designers Andrew Schneider and Jenny Chowdhury at a festival exhibition in San Diego.Andrew displayed a solar bikini. It overlays a swimsuit with strips of photovoltaic film sewn on with conductive thread. The suit produces a 5 volt output that can recharge gadgets such as the iPod.
Jenny meanwhile displayed her computer pants which are not designed as underwear but for use in a video game activity.
These designers and many more at the Siggraph exhibiton have shown how textiles and technology can produce innovative outcomes.
