“…Design considerations for embedding solar panels on the body have been more thoroughly explored in individual creative projects such as Kyunguen Lee's solar-powered Cycling Outfit [10], Roinesalo et. al's Solar Shirt [11] Marina Toeters's work with "Solar Fiber" [12], Elena Corchero's "Solar Vintage" [17], Amor Muñoz et. al's "Yuca_Tech" [19], and Smelik, Toussaint and Van Dongen's exploration of solar panels through a perspective of embodiment [14].…”

This project uses a design case study as a vehicle for facilitating solar prototyping practices in artistic and design applications of wearables, particularly within the DIY community. Existing solar educational content primarily focuses on engineering learning outcomes, with limited consideration of the aesthetic relationship between the solar panel and the fabric, or the design possibilities of using multiple panels. This trend differs from work within fashion and design research which considers the aesthetic and usability concerns of integrating solar into wearables. This project seeks to bridge the gap between solar educational content and design research by documenting multiple methods for mounting solar panels to fabric, applied in ways that afford different aesthetic outcomes. The tests culminate in an example project in the form of a scarf with embedded solar panels that power LED messages, a playful system intended to help ease communication difficulties that can arise when wearing face-coverings and masks.

“…Lee et al [34] fabricated a jacket for cyclists with LEDs installed and introduced design guidelines focusing on getting on a bicycle. Greinke et al [35] designed a shirt called Solar Shirt, which is sustainable and ecological. The goal is establishing zero energy wearable computing, and the shirt has a solar panel power-generation mechanism in the design.…”

We present design guidelines on light emitting diode (LED) costumes for dance performances assuming repetitive use during concerts. We used LED costumes more than 120 times for large concerts of well-known artists at venues of approximately 50,000 capacity that were commercially successesful and we updated the LED costume design twice based on our experiences during these concerts. Through analyzing the position of broken LEDs and the types of breakage and the problems that occurred during actual performances, we devised 17 design guidelines on LED costumes for dance performances. Thanks to these design guidelines, the LEDs on the costume are more difficult to break and we can prepare for any contingencies that may occur during a performance. We fabricated an improved LED costume based on our design guidelines and conducted endurance tests involving dancing. Throughout the endurance tests, the LEDs did not break, and other factors that cause LED breakage were found. We participated in two exhibitions to conduct special LED dance performances.

“…Sustainability and ecological values are linked to respect for nature. Materials that support an ecological way of living and designs that create awareness of the state of the environment have been proposed [8]. Nature is closely linked to food and nutrition, and pure and fresh ingredients are highly valued.…”

Being in nature is typically regarded to be calming, relaxing and purifying. When in nature, people often seek to be mobile through physical activity such as hiking. But also, nature provides an opportunity for meditative, mindful or inspiring experiences remote from urban everyday life. Mobile Technologies such as sports tracking technologies, electronic tourist guides, mobile phone integrated cameras and omnipresent social media access, have potential to both enhance and disrupt a user's interaction with and experience of nature. This MobileHCI workshop follows on from the first successful NatureCHI workshop by focusing on the challenges associated with the design of mobile technologies that support unobtrusive interaction in nature.
