Your new second skin “The Lumalive technology is completely unique,” explained Bas Zeper, Managing Director of Photonic Textiles, Philips Research. “Thin, soft, flexible, light… you hardly notice you're wearing it unless it's switched on. It's like a second skin. The electronics and batteries are completely hidden and you can easily remove them from the garment for washing.”
This is the first time that a fashion designer has used Lumalive textiles and it is part of Philips vision for a future where our surroundings and the clothes we wear become more intelligent, and interact with the environment around us. Lumalive textiles are currently being developed for commercial use and will be available on the market in 2007.
