Superhero Proposal

Chameleon Suit

So for the TUI project, our group (Team BAMFness) decided to do a Chameleon Suit. 
We live in such a fast-paced world right now, and every second is extremely valuable. There's also an infinite amount of social rules and expectations that we have to follow/meet in our everyday lives, especially in the area of attires and appearances. So to waste even a couple of minutes changing outfits can no longer be seen as acceptable. 



The Chameleon Suit can address this problem. 
By using either a LED display or a projection system, we the team decided to have the suit change its appearances upon command/environment. 
~While on the way to an important business meeting, the unitard suit receives notification from the subject's mobile phone's calendar/synched schedule program about the upcoming meeting.It will project/display a corresponding pattern unto the suit to allow the subject to look presentable for the meeting on time. 
~At a party, sensors within the unitard suit detects high noise level (i.e. music), increased temperature due to people's body close together while dancing, and all other types of environmental cues. Upon receiving information from the sensor, the suit will alter itself to a fashionable party outfit. 
~By using a specific hand gesture/body posture, the subject can activate a color/pattern picking function on the suit. Placing the palm of his/her hand upon a specific color/pattern will allow the camera in the suit to pick up that design and transfer it onto the suit. BAM! Instant fashion statement!
~There can also be a specific number of pre-loaded outfits in the suit itself. By doing a swiping motion across the body while the sensor is activated, the subject can quickly change his/her outfit upon desire. 

This Bubelle Emotion Sensing dress developed by Philips Design gave us the idea that our Chameleon Suit can spontaneously alter its appearance based on different types of inputs. 

The Beat Dress is also very cool. A project created by the students of Malmo University in Sweden, the LED lights within the dress responds to the beats in music. 

There're just so many different possibilities that can be employed for the Chameleon Suit. We are also exploring a method to reproduce invisibility. So far we've came across similar effects done by people at the University of Tokyo, where they used ultra-reflective clothing coupled with a camera-projection system to trick the eyes into seeing "invisibility". 

Team BAMFness believes that the existing technology will enable us to successfully duplicate the proposed "superpower" of the Chameleon Suit. 
Tiny pico projectors such as the 7mm Explay Projetor Engine can be both discrete and powerful at the same time, and products similar to it can definitely be embedded into the suit. 


There're still a lot of technicality issues to be worked out, but hopefully Team BAMFness will be able to come up with a comprehensive draft plan for tackling this project soon! XD
