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
Based on an already existing vest mesuring heart rate and breathing patterns during sleep,
we decided to design an additional accessory that will provide the astronaut with a full check
up and updates of health status .
This smart watch will be equipped with several sensors that will provide detailed health status
and connect it with the vest as well as the ISS data base to permit immediate help in case of emergency.
Along this watch you will find the concept of a complementary app for direct access to the data base.
The app will connect the device with the network and keep the astronaut updated and well informed of
the current environmental situation.
It is also connected to the user’s medical files, records their vitals and reports any abrupt change
signalled by either the vest or the watch to provide immediate help.
Via this app and watch it will be easier to connect to the data base , keeping up with ones vitals,
updates and emergency report even when the astronaut is sleeping or unconscious.
