Vibrato skirt

 

This plaid skirt pulsates with different colors of light through lace cutouts in the fabric. Lighting is based loosely on vibrations in the skirt and is diffused through fiber optic fabric. All electronics can be removed and mounted to another piece of clothing, thereby making wearable illumination more versatile.

 

 

 

Sound illuminating dress

 

This strapless dress lights up with a cool blue glow in response to loud sounds. The ambient sound level is picked up from a microphone. When it gets louder than a manually set threshold, the electroluminescent wire in the dress illuminates. All electronics and wiring can be removed, so that the batteries can be changed and the dress washed.

 

 

Heart Spark

 

This heart-shaped pendant necklace visualizes the wearer’s heart beat in different light patterns. Heart beat is picked up from a commercial chest strap worn by athletes and wirelessly transmitted to the pendant. A microcontroller on the pendant translates the signal into a light pattern of the wearer’s choosing.

Light-up lingerie

 

Fiat Lux. Let there be light. The motto for UC Berkeley, which is the motif of this featured Cal-spirited panties that light up when touched. Consider pairing that with a bra, which twinkles depending on movement, and together this lingerie will certainly prompt you to turn off the lights and enjoy some fun.

 

 

Wearable graphics
