Enhancing urban visibility through wearable technology
Night Signal is an interactive wearable project aimed at enhancing pedestrian visibility in low-light urban environments. Inspired by personal commuting experience, this bag features a light sensor that activates embedded LEDs when ambient light levels decrease.​
Fabrication Process: Patterns
​The embroidered patterns on the bag resemble city skylines, with windows and lights illuminating in response to darkness.
Fabrication Process: Machine Embroidery, LED Assembling
Conductive thread circuitry connects the system, transforming the bag into a functional signaling device. The project merges fashion, technology, and urban awareness, demonstrating how wearable design can improve safety and interaction within the city.
