Title: Everyday Inventory Bag for Kids

A belt bag for Kids
When the kids put the bag around the hips and lock the closing the eye of the shark starts to glow.

For the Kids this could visualize something like their stuff is protected by the shark, but the lights (maybe in an advanced version of the bag with more than one LED) could also be used to protect the kids in the twilight or darkness on the streets.

Things I need:

  • conductive yarn, cunductive fabric (optional)
  • velcro, buttons or a belt buckle
  • fabrics
  • LEDs
  • battery & batteryholder

first prototype:

New project plan

October 31, 2006

concept:

jojeste (Jona Hoier, Jeldrik Schmuch, Stefan Kainbacher)

a fabric painted with heat sensitive ink is placed into a frame.
a dynamo that is combined with a wheel is connected to a wire-image that is placed behind the fabric.
If someone is turning the wheel the dynamo creates electricity that is flowing through the wire that is producing heat wich let the ink on the fabric changing its color and makes the image visible.

In a further step we want to have several images that will crate some kind of animation controlled by switches

materials:

frame, dynamo, wheel, wire, heat sensitive ink, fabric

Dynamic wearable display

jojeste (Jona Hoier, Jeldrik Schmuch, Stefan Kainbacher)

We will sew a matrix of squares, that will be painted with heat sensitive color (for presentation 8×6 matrix). Every single square could be connected to a battery, what will force the color – on top of the squares – to transform. By doing that we want to create a dynamic display that could be controlled via any interface (e. g. Mobile phones, micro-controllers, …) in a later approach.

Materials
- T-Shirt (white)
- Heat sensitive color (green, black?)
- conductive seam
- battery (9V)
