Warning signs

I think smart materials are going to be a fascinating growth area over the next few years and look forwards to seeing what innovative designers will do with them. Here is an interesting project:

"Warning Signs is a visualization of the pollution that exists invisibly all around us. When the wearable senses carbon monoxide, the piece subtly changes color and pattern to indicate higher levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere to the wearer and those around him or her. This piece was designed and created by Nien Lam and Sue Ngo."
