SMART FABRICS& WEARABLE TECH - 2015

Sundaresan Jayaraman,

The Form Factor is…

ClothingYou can’t leave home without it…

Sundaresan Jayaraman,

Clothing is informational infrastructure

Fabric is the computer

FASHION FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE SAMEDYE, CUT SEW, FINISH

Now, 3Dprinting next level of fashion manufacturing

Fashion - tech looks dorky

NEW APPROACHES TO DESIGN

1. Collaboration & New expertise –1. New approach to engineer tech combined with fashion world.

2. Creating language common to multidisciplinary projects.

2. New job descriptions- design futurist - bio engineer

3. Tech world must embrace aesthetic sensibility of fashion world

4. Living Services - new more human term –1. not The Internet of Things

2. Driver- Digitization of everything and human expectations

WEARABLE ACCEPTANCE:REACHING THE TIPPING POINT

Jeremy WallLumenus

“When a product shifts from

useful to desirable, it has

reached a tipping point”

INNOVATION IS NOT ENOUGH“If it’s in your life it needs to match your lifestyle”

DESIGN + INNOVATION

“It must be designed well to be a fashion statement, and simultaneously innovative

to move from product to brand”

BODY HACKING

1. Portable is one step away from wearable

2. Collaboration of multiple devices working together

3. Sustainability - a major issue

4. Tech with positive impact

5. Gestural control devices, touchless interaction

6. Discover the body within - design goal - form and function, mobility

7. Creating a second skin - body mapping

MATERIALS

3-D printing solves many problems - BESPOKE - company for 3D printed custom for each individual based on body scan.

3D scanning - haptic scanning

Stretchable conductive paint

Conductive textiles - wovens absorb the glue-distorts the signal,

knits-the glue stays on top of the knit

Can wash, but doesn't know how many times as of yet.

Continuous Ambulatory Monitoring

LifeShirtQUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED

• Does pharma really want better data? • Who pays for post-operative monitoring? • Will sleep doctors – sleep lab financial connection be split? • Who is responsible for discharged patients? • Predictive algorithms enable early intervention – who pays? • Can monitoring = better outcomes? • Can monitoring change lifestyle choices? • What do with data showing how people are feeling? • Will first responders allow themselves to be monitored?

The Future

• Transformational health care • Predictive treatment • Continuous health • Emergency rooms for serious accidents • Self awareness by patients • Reduced costs • Improved outcomes

2. Hermetic packaging to keep body environment out and keep battery from poisoning the body.

3. Can print battery onto fabric

4. How much power needed for output to perceive it.

5. For Communication and Power use - no difference through skin or baseline input and output dampened a little by skin.

6. Battery tech not moving at the speed of processing tech

7. kinetic energy, thermal energy - harvest to extent life

Circuits - not squares and cylinders anymore - woven, flexible, grid, printed, tiny scale, bend around corners, washable

Circuits for every occasion, the way you have outfits for different occasions

Circuit for each occasion only is ON when you need it....charge lasts longer

Life of textiles issues for circuits: stretch, wearability, washability

Development of Textile Antenna

Embedded in Clothing for Energy Harvesting In the broad context of Wireless Body Sensor Networks for healthcare and pervasive applications, the design of wearable antennas offers the possibility of ubiquitous monitoring, communication and energy harvesting and storage.

The wearable antenna is thus the bond that integrates cloth into the communication system, making electronic devices less obtrusive.

To achieve good results, wearable antennas have to be thin, lightweight, low maintenance, robust, low cost and easily integrated in radio frequency circuits.

KRISTINEUPESLEJA

Using common textiles as dielectric substrate and conductive textilesto the radiating parts, we can design and build textile antennas

embedded in clothing.

Currently, we work just with patch antennas to body-worn applications, as they radiate perpendicularly to the planar structure and also their

ground plane efficiently shields the body tissues.

The knowledge of the electrical and electromagnetic properties of textile materials is essential to a good

design and antenna performance.

Resonator-based experimental technique

Until now, in the research field, the patch textile antennas have been built isolated and then posteriorly

integrated in the lining of garment or pockets. In this project the patch antenna prototype manufactured

directly on the clothing, in a large substrate, being thus part of it.

WEARABLE TECH AT INTEL

1. Personal - make it personal unique to us. Tech knows us

2. Immediate - easy to capture peoples attention - vibration on body

3. Persistent - tech always with you, monitoring human body 24/7 interact with people bio signals all the time

4. Collaborative - multiple connected devices. Better context, need for collaboration with different industries

WEARABLE TECH AT INTELMARCO DELLA TORRE - BASIS SCIENCE - INTEL

250 billion devices in our home by 2020

Collaboration of multiple devices working together

Wearables Today - wrist bands, a fixed shape

New Frontier of Form - augmented reality, things that reflect ourselves without our doing it.

Fashion - chip size of grain of rice. 10,000 circuits across the width of a human hair

Think about subhuman scale

IP TO RETAIL1. SMART GARMENTS - What department do they go in, who is the retailer

buyer.

2. Identify market – customer, lifestyle, etc

3. Build a story- give people a reason to believe in your product, how it will change their lives, not just tomorrow but for years.

4. Crowdfunding - tell the story, like a movie trailer to get people hooked....without actual product

5. Build community, retarget, email data base (rsvp list)

6. Scale up -

4 of 10 Failed Completely

WHY?• No clear path to retail

• Misaligned with market & consumer behavior trends

• Incorrect positioning & branding

• Unclear go-to-market channel strategy & roadmap

• No effective marketing plan – pre & post placement

• Unprepared for the demands of retail

THE MYTHThe myth - machines have made a more rational

and understandable world ---BUT---

machines have actually made a more distorted and

simplified view of the world.

If we can build models that much more reflect reality, benefits will come.

2020 POST-HUMAN INTERFACE?

Convergence with intuitive machines

Sensory augmentation - haptic feedback

Facial recognition - recognizes you as a category and only presents you with limited choices (need to have an override to give a choice to consumer if they don't like the choices offered)

The Exobrain - plug in to physical databases

Immersive Displays - physically invasive - contact lenses, etc.

Thought control – EEG

Learning systems - using analytics and date to predetermin results

Skin-Top computing - mostly medical
