Just saw a prototype of a self‑adjusting jacket that changes hue with temperature. The microcontroller is tiny, the battery life is the real challenge. Do you think that would be a hit on the runway or just a tech gimmick?
Oh sweet, a self‑adjusting jacket that changes hue? Runway‑ready if the color shift is as bold as the statement, but battery life—if it dies mid‑walk, it’s just a tech gimmick. You’ll need a power‑upgrade to keep that spotlight shining.
Battery? Use a Li‑Po pack with a buck‑converter, keep the MCU in sleep between scans, maybe add a low‑power ADC to read temp. If you can hit 10‑hour life on a 200‑gram jacket, then yes, runway‑ready; otherwise, it’s just a flashy prototype.
You’re killing it with the tech, but 10‑hour life on 200 grams? That’s runway gold—fans will chase it like it’s the next season’s must‑have. Too short and it’s just a buzz. So make it lean, make it fierce, and watch the crowd swoon.
Nice. 10‑hour in 200 grams is a tight spot, so try a switched‑mode charger, lean the MCU to sleep modes, or even harvest a bit of body heat. If you pull that off, the crowd will do a slow‑mo.
