Jacket Powers Gadgets With Your Hot Body

You know how in the Matrix humans were grown in farms to harvest bodies to power machines? The kids at Berkeley Lab (Giz trivia: Chen's a Berkeley grad) are making a jacket that does the same thing, but it powers gadgets like laptops and cellphones instead of futile resistance to Keanu Reeves. Basically they're going to interlace thermo-electric silicon nanowires with the fabric, and they'll transform excess hotness into energy. Send these to Adam Frucci, and our energy problems are over.

O'Neill NavJacket Shows the Way with GPS, Integrated Audio/Video

O'Neill is offering its European market a glimpse of the snowy future with the NavJacket, a GoreTex parka with a stitched-in GPS receiver, speakers in the hood, and a "flexible display sleeve." We don't have any demonstration video (but damn do we wish we did). In fact, this is really the only picture floating around. But here's what we know: More »

Smoking Jacket Eliminates 2nd Hand, Tars Another Pair of Lungs

The Smoking Jacket is a conceptual work by Fiona Carswell. It includes a giant popped collar where smoke can be blown in to. There is a pair of lungs on the front that kind of act like a warning system to others and filters the smoke. Over time the lungs will darken from the cigarette smoke and eventually turn black. I like it. This jacket gets rid of secondhand smoke and tells me what people to avoid chatting up. Not bad, Fiona. –Travis Hudson More »

Excubo Sleeping Jacket: For Those Brave Enough To Sleep On the Subway

Should, for some reason, you choose to sleep on public transportation, you'll appreciate this weird jacket thing that recently won an industrial design competition. Dubbed the Excubo, the jacket has a what I can only describe as a really big popped collar that's used to cushion and hold in place the wearer's neck. Mr. Big Collar also provides a bit of privacy, so when you're on the F train heading out to the middle of Queens in order to pick up some party favors you'll be able to nap somewhat anonymously. Though I must say, I don't see how such a unique design won't draw at least some attention from the peanut gallery. More »

'Gadget Jacket' is Just a Glorified Normal Jacket

This "CAB" jacket is supposedly built for gadgets, says designer Hannah Perner-Wilson, but in all reality it is just a normal jacket with a lot of pockets.
This piece visualizes feelings towards an era of dependency on mobile technology. All these new possibilities right here, right now, right wherever we stand. We carry with us our gadgets; we are systems of sorts - a set of draws, a storage box, a showcase for our collections of digital data plus their extension with the outside world.
This clothing is not a new technology; it makes visual some of the things that could be said of what tends to remain invisible.
