About Color Change Kākahu

He kākahu a Color Change i mahia mai i ngā rawa e tairongo ana ki te pāmahana. Ka huri te tae o te papanga ina tūtaki ki te wera o te tinana, te rā, te mahana rānei o tētahi atu tangata. Nā reira, ka kitea ki te mata o te kākahu ngā pānga tata pēnei i te awhi. Kua tapahia te tauira ki te whakanui i ngā raina hanganga o te kākahu, ā, ka katia ēnei raina ki te rīpene piri. Kāore te rīpene e tairongo ana ki te pāmahana, nā reira ka noho pūmau i te wā e huri ana te tae o te papanga huri noa. Nā te rerekētanga o ngā rawa e rua ka māmā te kite i ngā panonitanga huna o te mahana.

Unique Properties: The chemical interaction between people: hugs, breathes, kisses, and the temperature of the human body changes with the acceleration of the heartbeat. These changes in temperature and energy are in a state that cannot be seen with the eyes. unpredictable. The original intention of this design is to use temperature-changing materials to visualize these changes hidden in things. Design the clothing version to highlight the structural lines and use stickers to close the structural lines.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1500mmx200mmx3000mm
Tags: temperature change, Weaving, Future materials, Fashion, Bady
Production Technology: There are two materials used in this garment.One is a fabric that can change with temperature.For example,human body temperature and other temperatures will directly change the color of the fabric.The other is the adhesive tape,which is just different from the previous materialand it will not change with temperature changes.It just happens that the two materials have a sharp contrast.
Design Challenge: How to express temperature and temperature changes in the form of clothing design.
Research: The chemical interaction between people: hugs, breathes, kisses, and the temperature of the human body changes with the acceleration of the heartbeat. These changes in temperature and energy are in a state that cannot be seen with the eyes. unpredictable. The original intention of this design is to use temperature-changing materials to visualize these changes hidden in things. Design the clothing version to highlight the structural lines and use stickers to close the structural lines.
Inspiration: The original intention of this design is to use temperature-varying materials to visualize things that cannot be observed with the eyes. The design uses structural thread to highlight the clothing structure, which is a three-dimensional plane fabric.
Project Duration: The project started in Guangzhou in January 2020 and was completed in Shenzhen in March 2020.
Operation Flow: The clothing can be made of fabrics that change color with changes in temperature.The temperature emitted by the body during use will change the shape of the clothing,or contact with other people or even sunlight will change the color.
