Lumalive Textiles
If you ever wanted to stand out at the disco, Phillips has the t-shirt for you. They have just introduced Lumalive Textiles, which use LEDs to create light up t-shirts.
The cool thing is the shirt is still flexible like normal t-shirt material. I expected to see a huge plastic backing on the other side of the material, but it looks like it’s just normal fabric. Here is a commercial from Phillips describing their product:
What I would have liked to see is what it takes to keep it lit. Is there a 9 volt battery hanging off the back of each of those shirts? What about circuit boards. There has to be some sort of circuitry to tell the shirt what to display, so where is it? I want to see it.
