Seamless design

The best ideas are easy like this one found at WMMNA. A jacket that shows you the point of the compass. It's nothing revolutionary but the design is still great and seamless. It's not "a feature" it's just a silent function. This is how design should be. This is how I understand the word seamless.
It means there is no cut in the perception of the wearers audience. They can recognize the function but they dont have to. Of course, if the function is cool everyone involved will be even more focused on it. This is how a scene works. Enough philosophy..

North is indicated through glowing plant-like shapes like a tree which is covered with moss in the main wind direction. The coat contains magnetic sensors and 24 sections that can light up individually, using Electro luminescent wires. The section that points north lights up while its surrounding sections glow dimly.
