warning signs from Susan Ngo on Vimeo.



The interaction

Measure concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and visualize it on shirt.


The materials

Biometric sensors, muscle wire / shape memory alloys, thermochromatic fabric.


The implementation

Based on the level of carbon monoxide, an Arduino microcontroller sends out electricity through the muscle wires (copper, aluminum and nickel/nickel titanium) which heat up the thermochromatic fabric that changes color to show concentration change.


Our motivation

Wearable artifact that uses natural (soft) materials.
Designed for use in public space (outside).
Relevant theme (sustainability). Discursive design.
