    Very cool, better than most of those runway outfits. I'm surprised no one has LED modded a pair of stilettos. #galaxyleddress

    In the anime Gankutsuou (a science fiction update of The Count of Monte Cristo) the nobles wear clothing that does this kind of thing, even with patterns and textures. #galaxyleddress

    I love fashion and technology but this wasnt thrilling me. Like most high fashion though, its a concept meant to inspire more realistic pieces later. This concept will show back up, but in a more manageble form. (Imagining what COOL shoes they could make with this.) #galaxyleddress

    When you just absolutely have to have a a dress that screams, "Look at me, look at me! Look at me, I'm blinking, look at me!! Are you looking at me? Look at me, look at me, look at me, I'm changing colors! Look at me, look at me!" for your attention whoring needs, get the Galaxy Dress.
    I'm not a fan of the cut or the display pattern, either. I suppose someone has to do it first before someone can do it right, but it'd be interesting to see something like this done tastefully. #galaxyleddress

    This isn't new. There was a university in the UK doing this about 15 years ago. They were trying to get industrial backing for it, but I don't think they ever managed to. One of their guys came for an interview at my group (different university). #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @ZaxxonQ.com: Ha, ha! Yes, it might sound like that, but it doesn't make it any less true.

    I can tell you that I've sat through several papers on the earlier work at IMAPS conferences (International Microelectronics and Packaging Society) and I felt it was fair to give credit to that team.

    Actually, I just remembered it was Brunel University and a quick Google comes up with this link from the Wikipedia page on printed electronics: [www.dea.brunel.ac.uk]

    As a professional electronics engineer with a Ph.D. I suspect I'm rather better qualified than you to discuss this. While my comment might not have been of interest to low-brows like yourself, I was addressing it to educated people with a sense of curiosity. #xeroxprintablecircuits

    Fantastic! The will lead the way for even more inexpensive electronics in the future. I suppose the only limits will be the resolution of the printer and finding a way to attach chips, powers supplies, resistors etc... #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @Bertone77: I used to burn circuit boards in high school using copper boards, magic markers, and acid, this seems much simpler, way easier to fix any mistakes, all you'd have to do is fix the design in whatever program you used to design the circuit, rather than re-draw an entire circuit and re-burn the board, the installation of the chips and other components wouldn't be any harder than with the copper board, perhaps even easier depending on the material your printing on, and as far as resolution goes, the machine i'm running is 600 dpi for scanning, 2400 x 2400 dpi print resolution #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @Bertone77: Yeah, the resolution's a big issue in any burgeoning printing project. Finding an appropriate solute/solvent system is a bitch, considering how things like polarity, solute particle size, and viscosity all strongly affect printing resolution and drying time. #xeroxprintablecircuits
