HALO – Helmet Accessory Light Option
A helmet to make a rider more visible with a built-in lighting system that automatically illuminates when worn. The purpose of the helmet is to provide wearers with greater visibility, in particular to motorists in vehicles that are trailing behind. It is similar to a break light in a car, and decreases the likeliness of injury for the rider. The helmet is versatile, in that it can attach to any hard shell helmets with the use of Velcro. In addition, the LED high output lights make it ideal for any weather conditions. The automatic sensors will turn the helmet on when worn and turn it off when taken off.

Wearable Solar
A cloth that is augmented with solar cells, it can be tailored into jackets, vests and other articles of clothing to be worn and to charge cell phones, or other portable devices. The project is brought to us by Pauline Van Dongen, and has created several different collections of fashion incorporating her solar panels into the pieces. Innovative in its form, the designer Pauline combines new technologies with traditional techniques in fashion to create a newly merged and highly scientific product. She believes that there is nothing “natural in nature”, and that technology drives humanness; for this she aims to naturalize technology through her creations.
