Computers that you can wear!

If wearing a computer sounds incredibly clunky, you will want to visit Lynne Bruning and her work in e-textiles and conductive fabric and circuits. These are not wearable computers as you might traditionally think of a computing device.

In March 2011, she started hosting the eTextile Lounge as a ustream global hackerspace meeting to help build the community.
As smart phones and devices permeate global society, we will see more of these solutions and ideas integrated into our daily lives. For those with a disability or challenged physically in some way, it makes tons of sense to merge apps and the common mobile phone, or camera, or some new technology into the fashions we wear and the fabrics (curtains, upholstery, rugs) we surround ourselves with.
