Nothing has been left untouched by the emerging technologies, whether it is a cell phone or your clothing. Nina Marquart and Richard Etter have redefined the notion of ‘wearable’ by designing a unique jacket, Flame 5 that alerts you via heat when an SMS is received on your handset. The clothing gets heated up depending on the text message. The light-weight technology entrenched in the jacket connects the cell phone of the user to the jacket through Bluetooth and heats up different parts of the attire.
Well, I think that is a pretty good alternative to say goodbye to the irritating vibration. Moreover, Flame 5 provides a bodily and tranquil communication via heat. Personally, I really like this blend of fashion and technology.
