Designed by the Danish design company, Diffus, the 'climate dress' detects carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and has hundreds of tiny LED's that respond. It is powered by an Arduino Lilypad microprocessor and a carbon dioxide detector and uses conductive embroidery to transmit information to the hand-stitched lights. The result is patterns that range from slow pulses to rapid flashes depending on the levels of carbon dioxide.





As our group is thinking about concentrating on pollution I think that this design also links well and can be used as inspirational research to help us develop our own ideas and designs.
