Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada has developed an LED technology that shines through fabrics, displaying an array of information through clothing or other items.
The technology, called PocketView, uses LED lights
to shine through non-specialist material and everyday fabric,
showing notifications such as Email or messages, time,
weather and more.
Researchers created prototypes that mimic
smartphones, pens, key fobs and other shapes .The prototypes
are also Bluetooth enables, allowing them to sync
with existing devices.
While only creating stand-alone prototypes,
the researchers believe that the next-generation of PocketView
style LED displays could be incorporated into existing devices.
