Perfumed, Glowing Cloth 139
namtap writes "A story on NPR's All Things Considered discusses a light emitting fabric: The costumes onstage in Washington, D.C., might look a little brighter
this opera season -- or at least, much more colorful. All Things
Considered senior host Robert
Siegel talks with Alberto Spiazzi, costume designer for Washington
Opera's production of Aida, about luminex, a self-illuminating fabric." Makarand writes "A new technology will soon
enable scents to be woven into fabrics. The
technology, called Sensory Perception Technologies (SPT), will allow
particles of moisturisers, deodorants and fragrances to be
woven directly into fabrics.
Scented tiny droplets contained inside miniature waterproof particles
are woven into fabrics to be released upon activation by
movement or touch. The fabrics are dry cleanable and machine washable."

What I thought was even more interesting is that at first the company who made it, Generra, was a prime brand, it ended up a few years later in the forgotten trends market at Montgomery Ward.
It's going to be interesting. It's looking like one day we will have clothes that change color, glow, smell and have RFID tags. Maybe Gap will just make any stolen T Shirt Stink and glow with the words, "I stole this" or "I don't fold things back neatly at the Gap"

And if it smells minty fresh when I'm done I suppose it could save the lives of others as well.

My girlfriend figured that I'd pay more attention to her breasts if she did that to her bra [luminex.it]. It seems to have worked. Now I can get cuddles and network status all in one stroke.

Just think of this with bluetooth intergration. Your PDA, cellphone, and laptop could all intergrate with your cloths. If you have a meeting coming up your PDA blinks your shirt cuffs to remind you. Got a call? Don't set it to ring or vibrate.. make your cloths color cycle. Kicking ass and getting frags? Make your cloths show a flame pattern.. smokin!
