This project proposes a fashion store called App Couture, where you can buy functional garments . In this project, three ideas are integrated together: NUI(Natural User Interface), Internet of things, and hologram interfaces.
Instead of wearing only one device, what if numerous wearable devices could talk to each other? How would NUI affect the design of wearable devices? What would be the new possibilities/
challenges/criteria for designing hologram interfaces? How to customize the design styles and functions according to different use preferences?

In this project, I use an Arduino core and a Spark core to realize my concept. Different kinds of sensors are attached to different parts of body, and send images to screen which is controlled by Arduino. The Spark also assists in the sending email function.
All the garments are made with plastic sheets and cardboards.
In this projects, the wearable device itself is turned into a fashion item with embedded sensors, and the human body becomes the input source.
When human body becomes the interface, human behaviors turns to the control instructions. The embedded sensors can recognize user's implicit needs.
Multiple devices on human body can "talk" to each other and work together for greater functionality and optimization.
