Wanna look like a walking talking billboard? Then you certainly might be interested in getting yourself one of these amazing wearable displays from a company called ‘EroGear’. Integrated in any jacket of your choice, the display features a software package that takes still images and exports them into a proprietary format for use with EroGear displays.
Video content is uploaded by first exporting a video file then running it through the software. To create the display content you can either input the text directly on the display controller for a scrolling ’stock-ticker’ like text animation, or you can pre-render text or graphic using video rendering programs Apple’s Motion 3 or Adobe After Effects, or you can choose content from a library of video content to be available for download like ring-tones for cell phones or CD-cover artwork in iTunes.
One of the first prototypes made by the company features an Armani Exchange lightweight running jacket with an 88×8 display resolution, a ‘lite’ display controller, a 2 hour battery and video patterns made by EroGear. The tailor made display jacket also houses optional add-ons like DMX support for synchronization of multiple displays, support for SD card for additional content storage and Audio reactivity which can sync animations or text by audio signals.
A control button on the display controller allows brightness adjustment of the display just in case you don’t wanna look like a total weirdo. Priced just under $1000, the transformable clothing allows you a degree of self-expression and customization unlike anything else in the market.
