Over 50 well-known designers, research institutes, companies and artists, among them Philips, Burton, MIT Media Lab, XS Labs, New York University, Hussein Chalayan, Cute Circuit or International Fashion Machines are introduced by means of their latest, often still unpublished, project, and a survey of their work to date. Given for the first time is a list of all the relevant information on research institutes, materials, publications etc. A must for all those wishing to know everything about fashionable technology.
Media Lab Europe Stefan Agamanolis (Media Lab Europe Human Connectedness research group ) 2005 research, report, website, closed
This web site is a complete document of the work of the Human Connectedness research group during its 3 1/2 year existence at Media Lab Europe (September 2001 - January 2005). Media Lab Europe is now closed, but the vision of the group is still alive. Many former members are continuing their projects independently, and many of the our prototypes are still available for exhibition.
Moondial-Fashionable Technology Sabine Seymour 1998 technology, prototypes, intelligent clothing, research, workshop, branding, wireless technologies in clothing, fashion design, networking, wearable products
In 1998 Sabine found Moondial Inc in New York, which resulted from her research and role as an educator, and her previous engagements with Razorfish, R/GA, and Hewlett-Packard. Projects focus on fashion, design, branding, and technology. They include prototypes for intelligent clothing, concepts and creative direction for online or networked environments, strategies for the integration of wireless technologies in clothing and equipment, go-to-market strategies for wearable products, and trend scouting. Since 2005 Moondial is based in Vienna with an office in New York
Piezing Dress, Muk Luk Flux Amanda Parkes 2008 mechanisms for working prototypes of Tangible User Interfaces, electronics, developing software, Human-Computer Interaction, journals, conferences, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer programming, students, hard-working, technically competent, creative, interactions, digital information, surfaces, physical objects, designing human interfaces, Tangible Bits vision, electrical /mechanical engineering skills, design aesthetics, installations, video performance, wearable technology, creativity
-Amanda Parkes' Piezing generates power using the natural gestures of the human body in motion. Around the joints of the elbows and hips of the garment is piezoelectric material that generates electricity in response to applied mechanical stress. The electricity is then stored as voltage in a centralized small battery and later can be discharged for use. - Muk Lux Flux boots change shape depending on the speed and motion of the wearer.
Robot Girl vs Simple Girl Anouk Wipprecht smart textiles, circuits, fashion tech, wearable electronics, fashion designer, interaction design, realising prototypes
Iíve specialised myself in this field for the last two years by moving to Sweden to learn about circuits/engineering/wearable electronics/smart textiles and interaction design, participating in MEDIAMATIC Amsterdam, study interaction design, attending several courses, and doing side project with electronics.
StudioLab Aadjan van der Helm (TU Delft) aesthetic appeal, product experience, intelligence in products, inspiration engineering, emotional design, design for the senses, industrial design, students, research, group of designer, TU Delft, ergonomics-driven, technology-driven, working prototypes
The Studio lab aims at integrating multidisciplinary knowledge on user, technology, and the product usage context. Building working prototypes that are rich in experiential quality and design tools is essential to the research approach. Prototypes with design variables are tested in real environments, in an iterative research through design cycle. Results from user experience testing leads to design knowledge and refinement of research issues.
Things That Think (MIT Media Lab) augmented, objects, research, science, engineering, design, art
Things That Think is inventing the future of digitally augmented objects and environments. We bring a unique, boundary-breaking perspective to research, uniting leaders in science, engineering, design, and art. Grounded by extensive corporate sponsor interaction, our prototypes and demonstrations aim to inspire the products and services of tomorrow.
VT E-Textile Lab Mark Jones, Tom Martin (Virginia Tech) employ extensive simulation, physical prototypes, e-textile, computing research issues, textile lab, textile design
We are attempting to address the computing research issues that arise in the successful realization of e-textiles. Our approach to this process is to build physical prototypes and employ extensive simulation to explore the vast design space in e-textiles. Towards that end, we are constructing a modeling and simulation environment to explore that space.
