Futuretech - Part Three

FUTURETECH. Wasn't really impressed with the shoes, would lead to too many people falling over! BUT Jason, not compact enough or futuristic. should have built the computer into a bum bag belt running on voice activated software. Wearer has a earpiece/ mike with lcd screen watch similar to the Lg watch featured linked to the computer via bluetooth.

im really annoyed about the ending because i liked the shoes but the jacket could do anything you could probly even put most of the tech on a shirt and is so much more usefull and you could just put the mp3 shoes attatched somewhere aswell because even jason turned on music on his jacket which makes his like suzi's but enhanced and better so i thaught that the jacket should have been the winner

the future in wearable electronics is printable electronics and conductive threads, i was not impressed with future tech, the wearable electronics looked a bit silly with the circuit board on the shoes and the projector on the shoulder. the programme was glorifying QTC Quantum tunneling composite, this stuff is a nightmare to work with it comes in small pills approx 5mm square, on the show they were holding up about 10. it can not be glued or drilled or fastened except with sticky tape, it is virtually impossible to use without a part being injection moulded to hold it. The future in textiles is printable electronics and conductive thread which you can sew in electronics leds etc but be careful as alot of rubbish quality is available, some is small lengths of steel, the best type i have found was from a company called possytronics , this company also has electroluminescent wire and sheet as the dress showed on the show, the sheet is printable electronics and extremely good when dark as it has a pre-programmed sequence that flashes in skulls hearts flowers and can be sewn to textiles garments.
