Accessory Nerve

How can we use technology to connect to friends and loved ones in a more personal and poetic way?

Accessory Nerve is a clothing accessory in the form of a wearable interface that uses dynamic patterns to connect people on a more emotional level.

The garment is based on cellular network technology in which a moveable cloth display on the sleeves reacts when receiving messages from friends and loved ones. The wearer is able to pre-programme certain behaviours into the garment that are linked to specific emotions or to specific people.

As a wearable accessory, it is physically close to the body, allowing the sensation of the movement to add to the richness of the experience. It can be worn over existing clothing and easily removed.

Technologies: actuator in the form of servo, Basic Stamp, SMS
