DynamicSkin: Bio-inspired Scaled Sleeve for Body Temperature Regulation and Dynamic Self-Expression

Published: 18 April 2022 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents DynamicSkin, a bio-inspired scaled sleeve that offers body heat regulation for the wearer while serving as a channel for self-expression and making a fashion statement. We present the design process and system design enabling the dynamic scaled sleeve, exploring the meaning of unobtrusive wearable technology and beautification of features that are often chosen to be hidden instead. This research aims to advance body crafts by exploring a wearable that benefits the human body while providing ample aesthetic value for the user.
