cool but too jazzy for my liking

hippies will go nuts for this shit

Seen the EL shirts and caps? Much the same, except they flash.

I saw a guy at a rave with a shirt that flashed, looked fecking awesome.

this is far far more advanced. check the video

Yeah I saw it, they look wicked. Wonder how expensive they are...

So...do you buy a shirt, then program whatever you want in, or do you buy a pre programmed shirt?

that would be cool, if you could upload animations into it, rather than just have it hardwired

Probably make you go insane eventually.

Really cool. The practical use would be to wear this at night on the street as a reflector. Drivers will not miss it.

I think it's great. I look forward to owning some.

Good product... Beats the crap out of Japans 'Butt Skirts' that were popular a few years back...

Cool. I agree with Deano that its too jazzy...it be better if they incorporated the lighting similarly to how you would use piping on clothes.

It exist already, it is a flexible single paper thickness polymer sheet that video can be watched on. Saw it on some science show. It's still in the early stages of development and the piece the guy was showing as an example was only about 6" by 10". Give it a few years, you'll see it around.
