The Role Of The Textile Design?

Marcia Pointon argues that the material practices of making clothing are similar to the production of creating artworks. Supporting her argument, Pointon examines garments that are made by tailors, for the reason that they are made by hand and not mass produced and compares their creation to the handiwork of an artist. Pointon explains that both the tailor and the artist start with cloth and that they both work by fabricating, cutting, meshing, and layering. Describing further, the author notes that both tailors and artist piece together shapes, pay attention to horizontal and vertical lines, must fit the figure on to one rectangular surface, and use outlining to prepare for their creation. Moreover, Dolan relates that both the tailor and the artist both work in fiction.

Wearable technology, once the stuff of old spy movies, is rapidly moving into the 21st century.

In its earlier years UA expanded significantly with new product lines including TurfGear, AllseasonGear, and StreetGear. These launches success helped to catapult UA to the forefront of the emerging performance apparel industry. Their innovation and savvy have given them a leg up on competitors including Nike and Addidas. There have been hints of some new product launches to come in 2017. UA wants to continue to be a competitive player in the health and fitness gadget and wearables market. These gadgets include “Healthbox”, a fitness tracker with a heart-rate strap and smart scale. These devices are intended to be used with their smartphone app, which is also compatible with other fitness tracking devices. Later on, the company added heart rate monitoring headphones to the family of devices, as well as the Speedform Gemini 2 RE smart running shoes which have a built in ability to track your runs (Jovin, 2016). This healthbox product has not received a grand reception from consumers but there is a lot of potential for this product line. For the sake of the report I will research and report on a product line that recently came out. The ColdGear product line. These clothing items claims to disseminate heat by using ceramic powder and re-circulates around the wearers

UnderSkin is supposed to be the next wearable piece of technology that gathers, and gives, a person's information when it is next to another person or some type of reader. Rhodes’ goes on to say that this device will not be like a person normal wearable gadget, but it will be

Patient wearables offer an excellent example of this new doctor/patient partnership. Patients can not only be monitored by their physicians, they can monitor themselves as wearables present not only data concerning heart rate and blood pressure, but personal information regarding everything from diet to the quality of last night’s sleep. This brings the patient into the loop and encourages him or her to take more responsibility.

This research proposal explores scholarly journals, internet articles, and my personal thoughts and ideas on the smartwatch, fitness band, and wearable market segment. I am proposing to obtain research on whether or not the Microsoft Band among other smart wrist wearables are currently and, if so, will continue to be desirable technological advancements in the market.

As time advances, newer forms of wearable technology are released every year. The Apple Watch and the Fitbit are just some of the instances of this technology, which was once considered the object of science fiction. What if there was a watch that helped doctors take care of and support their patients?

Expected technological advancements in health products are likely to contribute to greater spending on health. The FitBit as a technological health device shall greatly meet local consumer’s needs.

Advancements in technology are causing dynamic changes that further enhance our lifestyle on a daily basis. Did you ever imagine you can answer a complex question only with the power of a handheld device, or what about tracking your every move using only a wristband? Are we capable of streamlining this powerful technology for application into the medical field?

Wearable technology, once the stuff of old spy movies, is rapidly moving into the 21st century. Today, consumers can by many new technologies that can do multiple things. To go along with all of these new inventions, I have invented an exciting new item of wearable technology. It’s what everyone has been wanting; you no longer have to be embarrassed when trying to take a picture of somebody without them knowing. My invention is called “The Spy Goggles”.

The future holds the emerging field of bio-hacking. This term refers to a practice of part body modification, and part computer hacking. Last year, artist Anthony Antonellis implanted an RFID chip in his hand that could store and transmit one kilobyte of information through a tiny antennae. This also brings to mind, Rich Lee, a salesman from Utah who implanted sound-transmitting magnets in his ears. The magnets are powered by a coil apparatus that includes a little amplifier and battery pack and plugs into Lee's Walkman. The coil creates an electromagnetic field that vibrates the magnets in his ears and creates sound comparable to a cheap pair of headphone.

They predicted in 10-20 years the world will evolve much better. Wearable sensors will enhance every person’s awareness of his or her health condition, environment, chemical pollutants, potential hazards, and information of interest about

In 1968, Eric Hobsbawm said: “Whoever says Industrial Revolution says cotton.” Among many historians the Industrial Revolution is considered as the process in which technological changes led by the mechanized factories of the cotton industry created large profits for innovators that continued in succeeding decades. It was the key event in the emergence of modern economic growth, which led to shifting manufacturing from people’s houses and shops to factories. It was a time of vivid change, from hand tools and handmade items, to the products which were produced by machines. Nevertheless, life improved, the industrial revolution had some harmful consequences, such as increased pollution, harmful working conditions, employment of women and children, who were made to work long and hard hours, etc.
