I’d like to know if there is a sci-fi source for this; I’ve wanted — what I call — infinifabric for a long time. Basically a cross between:
the microbots in Big Hero 6,
the symbiote from Spider-Man (sans sentience), and
programmable matter from Star Trek: Discovery
One fabric layer that can reshape itself into any and every conceivable article of clothing. Perfectly regulates body temperature, water loss, and environmental challenges.
From Altered Carbon: an Oni. Built-in telecommunications. Seems way closer to fruition than DHF stacks. Though, is the stack worn so much as is part of oneself? In universe, it seems that the stack IS the person.
From Dune, Foundation, and that one episode of Star Trek: TNG: a personal shield.
This topic makes me wonder if prosthetic devices count as “wearables”, per se, or not. If anyone out there is in the know — you or someone you’re close to have (has)/wear(s) a prosthesis — please let me know.
I built myself a HUD using a VuFine LCD and a raspi Zero W. It runs a custom TUI I wrote for myself that provides an interactive terminal session surrounded by configurable text widgets.
Currently, I have widgets configured to display the date/time, the weather (near-term and week), and CPU/Mem utilization. With the main display running my combined to-do/calendar app to help keep me organized.
It’s tacky as hell, bulky and exposed wires, but I love it.
i’m a simple man: i just want 108 keys split into two panels on a vest. USB-A connector would be fine, maybe even ideal. i’ll jack it into the system i want. i guess it would need a killswitch or something.
Not wanting anything is fair, but the intent here was the best case scenario (even unrealistically so). So the device would not have anything you don’t want, ads and security issues included
