Members Lucky Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 The WSJ today has an article on new designs in shirts that change color when the temperature changes. Some actually show slogans when you sweat. Cool, huh? There is even underwear that features plastic dots that are meant to improve the wearer's posture. Scientists are are working on developing fabrics with sensors that can track changes in blood pressure, pulse rates, and other signs of stress, as well as signs that a wearer is falling down. What will they think of next? Underwear that cleans up semen spots or even skid marks?

Members JKane Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah, they've been talking about those kinds of things for a while now, and the color changing shirts are available now, I believe. The problem is most of these ideas tend to stop working after a certain number of washes. When you're talking underwear (as you'd have to be for the medical monitoring functions) would you want them to be dry clean only? Even then, only so many trips through the chemical bath I bet.
