The écharpe communicante project was born out of
the collaboration between France Telecom R&D, the research and development
center of the second largest telecommunications company in Europe, with
architect Naziha Mestaoui, graphic designer Yacine Aït Kaci, and fashion
designer Crtsof. The project, a communicating telephone jacket and scarf, is conceived as a " second skin for communication " through various interfaces which facilitate the extension of the senses into the virtual realm (Watch, Listen, Speak, Touch), allowing the wearer be at once here and potentially " everywhere ". The écharpe communicante is a suit jacket with a long, detachable and interchangeable collar draped around the neck, equipped with built-in, communicating multimedia interfaces. The collar, available in varying colors and materials, can therefore be worn independently, like a scarf. The act of turning up the collar of the jacket opens up a telecommunications channel and brings the receiver closer to the wearer's ear. By wrapping the collar around the neck and face like a scarf, the speaker comes to rest in front of the mouth and a barrier is created, isolating the wearer from the outside world. Inserting the arm into the other part of the collar, as if through a large bracelet, allows the wearer to access a computer and its touch screen - as easy as looking at a watch. This series of movement creates a virtual sphere that isolate the wearer from his/her physical environment whose configuration change with the wearer's activities. The communication clothing is an interface acting as a link to the virtual world of modern communication, internet, mobile phone, and other satellite networks. |
