World's First E-Ink Shirt (Ghetto Version)

Step 7 Wear!

As I said, I had a few ideas that maybe I'll try later, and this was just a quickie to hopefully inspire smarter and more creative people than I into taking a crack at it.

Good luck, and for Goodness Sake, stay out of the Rain.

I can already see the advertisers and mass media brand merchants arguing over ad space ont he average shirt. maybe a shirt that has built in blue tooth that will change ads as you walk past particular businesses. Cool stuff Blakebevin. Keep up the good work.

 A few thoughts come to mind.  Isn't t-shirt material (Cotton) Relatively thin?  Could you project this from the back side?  Isn't that what this basically is, a t-shirt projector?  You could use longer wires and put the battery pack and mainboard in a different part of the shirt, allowing a flexible screen to be constructed because what I see is a flexible screen.  It would take some money or some skills at soldering, but it can be done.  You just need some ribbon (electronic ribbon), some know, and some dimensions.  You could do it like the old photo albums, securing each corner and securing the center of the image.  Pretty much what you have is a mainboard that has been set to flash wired to some LED's and a projectable unit on top of that, so with this, all options are endless.  You could move it to the heart, put a picture of a heart, and freak some ppl out.  Or is it like a calculator that has a glass insert?
