Futuretech - Complete

Jamie29 September 2009

I thought Jason's Futuretech jacket should have won the chellange, suzi's shoes where good but the jacket had it all and with future tech could be as light and inconspicuous as a normal jacket or shirt if you dont use jackets all the time, perhaps instead of a projector though a pare of high tech glasses with monitors and a mic built in so you could see both the world around you and the computer screen, and the mic could control it all oh ye!

Why not just put all this functionality into a singe device (eg a mobile phone) and call it the iPhone or something. The future won't involve wearable computers because no one will want to have to remember to wear their special jeans or their special hat if they want to do something that could just be achieved by just downloading an app on their phone. The future will be about everything being integrated into a single powerful pocket sized device (like the iPhone).

i think jasons jacket should have won but i dont think any of them will be tech for the future and think about wearing the jacket out side ... wat if it rains? and the sun ? the projectors wont be very visible if theres to much light but hopefully in the future there will be a solution to these problems.

Hi, i really enjoy and love your program but however there is one dissapointing thing about your video player on your website is that you cant watch in fullscreen. I hope you can come up with a better player or something because when i use my TV i dont quite enjoy watching because the video screen is very small compared to my TV res. Thanks Hamza Mir

I loved this segment. As a fashion technologists myself (www.iheartswitch.com) I want to point out the difficulty of this challenge even for the best designer with no time limit. In my view, fashion technology is more challenging than most any other technology out there. Your dealing with a constantly moving body, pre-conceived notions about style, social agendas and statements, and batteries are bulky and usually not washable. All of this means that electronic connections are constantly moving on something slightly unpredictable, not to mention the need for washable processors and such. Yikes! Knowing this, Suzi and Jason did an amazing job. Better than some established designers out there. I see that many people are asking why did Suzi win? I think this is because she was thinking about fashion and how we move. The shoes go with something we truly enjoy, music. And, they fit into a fashionable item that we already understand and know how to use. As I always say, never deny the history and powers of fashion. Fun Fact: Back in the 1960's Diana Dew made lighted clothing for disco dancing and sold the clothing in high end boutiques in NYC.
