For some reason I’m not super impressed with this. Looks too much like you’re wearing e-ink panels. Call me when these are fully functioning OLEDs that kinetically charge when you walk.
Each one of those scales operates as an independent display, and coordinating them is quite a challenge. I'd be interested in knowing what is driving them, because it's surely not very portable.
I’m sure orchestrating this isn’t super easy (however, if you treat every “display” as a “pixel”, Idk how this coding is different than a woman wearing a dress made of addressable LEDs— on the surface it doesn’t seem super complicated engineering), but it appears as unimpressive.
Powerbank backpack lol I guess you could go pretty small with hardware in these ARM days comming
EInk and monochrome LCD Type Displays need very low power, because you only need a tiny bit to switch them from one side to the other, but none to keep it black or white.
Yea but top commentor wants full color OLED screen and I suppose would not say no to animations.
