Christina Pinto:
Interacting with our mobile phones either by touch or voice is a pleasure many enjoy. The advancements of the technological age have allowed us to communicate with our small devices with ease. This technology is constantly changing with new innovations reshaping the interaction between people and their phones. The new BUI (Bodily User Interface) is the latest development that lends a whole new dimension to user interaction. The technology also includes the latest in fashion wear wherein with the help of an advanced coat, you can use your entire upper body to perform certain tasks on your mobile.
It is an idea hypothesized by Lorea Sinclaire, a student from Emily Carr University. She created a system of delicate machinery woven into the prototype garment to receive and respond to the stimulus that the wearer provides. Named the Assembly, it is a union of haptic feedback technology and a network that functions on proximity.
The prototype utilizes conductive threading which is weaved through electronic modules that are detachable. The sewing snaps on the electronic modules classify them as removable. It is a good feature as the garment can be washed without risking damage to the sensitive circuits. If the wearer would like to change her outfit, then she has the option of attaching the system to another garment of a similar shape. Moreover, the flexible modules containing the main parts of the technology can be serviced, replaced or upgraded easily.
The embedded haptic motors are able to produce a pulse and vibration. A very handy feature that offers a lot of possibilities. If a user receives feedback from people in a close radius, the pulse will indicate the volume of friends present nearby- a strong pulse for a large group or if there are few, a weak pulse. Additionally, the intensity of the vibrations from the motors signals the priority of the notification received from someone. It is one of the interesting aspects of this student’s project, studying haptic feedback as a kind of notification. Once alerted, the wearer can view the high priority notification on their mobile as written text.
Now, let’s explore the heart of the innovative project. The garment equips the wearer with a reactive interface that enables them to perform tasks by means of different gestures. Doing up a button will send out signals identifying your present location. The conductive threading acts as touch sensors and an integrated GPS module is responsible for releasing the signals.
Other exciting features wearers are sure to love- stroking the lining of the hem translates into calling a friend while two hands simultaneously swiping the outer arms activate a distress call. The design of the technology is quite amazing and very practical to modern society. If there is going to be fashion show on the very best of BUI outfits, I will definitely be attending.
