Color changing clothes as a form of new media

Part of the work that my research on Huggy Pajama system involves is the changing of color on clothes. The idea is that the wearable clothes can be used as a form of new media, and become an information display / exchange interface. Color changing can also convey a more emotional feedback to whoever is viewing it, and be a form of emotional expression interface.

The video below shows the current prototype of color changing based on thermal heating and cooling control system.
