Knit Touchpad Will Render Clothing More Useful

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Hacks

I’ve always wanted to integrate a touch pad into my clothing and thanks to Hannah Perner-Wilson (aka Plusea), that dream could become a reality. For those not familiar with Plusea, she’s all about wearable computing. Her latest work, the Knit Touchpad, is just like the touchpads we use on our notebooks, except this one is made of fabric.

It works with an anti-static glove that Plusea uses to scale the four corners of the fabric pad. Thanks to her intricate walkthrough at Instructables, this DIY yields a lot of potential for wearable touchpads in the future. I can’t wait to add one to my built-in keyboard pants.

Tight Denim and A Leather Jacket Is Justice

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Fancy the electronic duo  Justice? Why not wear tight black pants along with a leather jacket that just screams, “I swallow!” Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay of Justice have teamed up with French label Surface to Air of Paris to create their own limited edition clothing line, complete with a leather wallet. The line is supposed to reflect their hard “rock and roll” image.

Biker bars or gay bars, no matter where you go everyone will know you listen to music with no lyrics. Who needs lyrics anyways? When you’ve got hot beats and cool sounds, no one is paying any attention to the words.
