ThermaWear Jacket
ThermaWear is my temperature-adaptive jacket inspired by Art Deco aesthetics, focusing on geometric and linear patterns, material and texture expression, and a streamlined silhouette.
This project eventually developed into a working prototype, even though I had no prior experience with electronics. The system uses a closed-loop temperature control mechanism, where a temperature sensor monitors body temperature and activates the heating system when it drops below 31°C. The heating pad warms the water reservoir, and the warm water circulates through tubes placed around key heat-sensitive areas of the body.
Once the temperature reaches the desired level, the system automatically turns off to maintain comfort. Testing confirmed that the prototype works successfully by increasing temperature, circulating heat, and responding to temperature changes.
Overall, this project helped me learn electronics from scratch, connect aesthetic design with engineering function, and turn an idea into a practical working prototype. I sincerely thank Elizabeth Saunders and Zack Weaver for their continuous support and guidance throughout this course.
