Fabric Display

Filed in archive High-Tech Textiles on March 2, 2006

This is one project from heXagram i didn't mentioned yesterday. I like it because it seems to be very useful in future products and the approach is wonderful too.

From Joanna, the project lead: Shimmering flower deploys a simple technology for non-emissive, color-change textiles. It functions as a woven animated display, constructed with conductive yarns and thermochromic inks together with custom electronics components. The textile is woven on a Jacquard loom, which allows the creation of beautiful and complex imagery. The flower image was created with custom drawing software.
