Dragon Skin

Out-of-this-world fashion with function: clothing or accessories for earth or space wear!

Every space traveler – even the robotic ones – should feel? their very best during the journey, infused with the very best data and technology available. Earthlings can follow suit. Design a space data-tech-fashion wearable in the form of clothing or accessories that will collect or distribute data and technology in the following categories:

Design for Interconnectivity (staying more connected to team, community, and tools)

• enhance the work/life experience of humans and/or capabilities of robots  

Design for Health (biometrics, physical and emotional health, and/or environmental alerts)

• maintain or improve the health and well-being of the human
• provide early warning for unhealthy environmental factors (air quality, radiation, outgassing, temperature)

Design for Entertainment (sights, sounds, music, activity)

• enhance the human experience whether during work or play

A solução proposta com o Dragon Skin é aprimorar o traje atual com pressurização a gás, por um traje com pressurização mecânica, diminuindo consideravelmente o volume da roupa e consequentemente aumentando a mobilidade do astronauta permitindo assim um maior aproveitamento do tempo de exploração.
Implantando também um sistema de sensores por dentro do traje permitindo controlar os sinais vitais, temperatura, pulso, pressão arterial e frequência respiratória, tudo sendo processado por um Raspberry Pi com suporte para comandos de voz.

Foi também idealizado um sistema de monitoramento de características biológicas, tais como índice glicêmico, por meio da implantação de um eletrodo na parte do traje que recolhe a urina, analisando assim a condutividade elétrica da urina para se obter valores tais com índice glicêmico.

The proposed solution to the Dragon Skin is to improve the current costume with gas pressurization for a costume with mechanical pressurization, considerably reducing the volume of clothing and consequently increasing mobility astronaut thus allowing a better use of time of exploitation.

Deploying also a sensor system inside the costume allowing you to control the vital signs, temperature, pulse, blood pressure and respiratory rate, all being sued by a Raspberry Pi with support for voice commands.

It was also designed a monitoring system of biological characteristics such as glycemic index, through the implementation of an electrode in the costume that collects urine, thus analyzing the electrical conductivity of the urine to obtain such values with glycemic index.
