Décidement avec plus de 400 designers, le département DESIGN de Philips, est un véritable THINK TANK des nouvelles innovations de demain. Parmi elles ce projet de vêtements sensitifs qui laisse une large place à l’émotionnel dans les habits que nous porteront demain.
« We chose fashion as an idiom to express the kind of research we were doing, » says Lucy McRae, Body Architect at Philips Design. « We did this because apparel and textiles can be augmented by a lot of new functionality. A garment can be a highly complex interactive electronic or biochemical device. We are experimenting with devices that are more responsive to subtle triggers like sensuality, affection and sensation. »
