The faculty of Environmental Information at Tokyo`s Keio University announced that it developed a scarf that changes color to match that of the wearer’s clothing by using 100 optical fibers, light-emitting diodes and a color sensor.
A built-in sensor detects the color of the garment and then “commands” the LEDs to shine the same color , eg. If the wearer has on a blue shirt, the scarf automatically starts glowing blue.
The team has also developed a shirt that changes color from blue to red according to the wearer’s body temperature.
