Interactive fabric testing automatically changes colors

Hungarian fabric designer Judit Eszter Karpati has created a fabric that can change colors in a snap when exposed to temperature or pressure from the surrounding environment, thanks to the integration of electronic and computer technology. .

This is part of the project called Chromosonic of Karpati and the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design to study how the digital media world becomes more authentic through textile products. sew.

On his website, Karpati says the experimental product is a combination of traditional textile technology and digital media . Accordingly, the fabric is dyed with temperature-sensitive drugs and incorporates a microcontroller that provides 12V, 20 PCB designs specifically designed to control and control four 24V power supplies. .

When the wearer moves, the color and pattern on the fabric changes and reacts when subjected to heat or pressure.

In particular, people touching will also leave traces on the fabric surface. "My main concern in fabric design is changing the surface, fabric structure as well as integrating interactive technology into the fabric," Karpati said. In the future, this fabric can be applied in the field of advertising.
