Students from the Fashion, Product and Interface Design Departments at Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the Institute of Fashion and Textile Design (IBT) developed a series of interactive fashions entitled E-motion. One of these designs, Outsourcing by Max Schäth, is an expressive shape-shifting hood that references the senses and feelings of a person in an abstract way. It subtly transforms and changes shape via shape memory alloy and integrated sensors. The jacket’s hood changes with the wearer’s mood, not acting as an analogue to the mood, but attempting to make the wearer aware of the changes.
