Summary: | The Solar Shirt is a wearable computing design concept and demo in the area of sustainable and ecological design. The Solar Shirt showcases a concept, which detects the level of noise pollution in the wearer's environment and illustrates it with a garment-integrated display. In addition, the design concept utilizes printed electronic solar cells as part of the garment design, illustrating a design vision towards zero energy wearable computing. The Solar Shirt uses reindeer leather as its main material, giving a soft and luxurious feeling to the garment. The material selections and the style of the garment derive their inspiration from Arctic Design, reflecting the purity of nature and the simplicity and silence of a snowy world.
