Dough - The Future of Clothing
Could 'smart' clothing monitor our health?
Greg Foot, host of the BBC Radio 4 show 'Sliced Bread', now brings you 'Dough'.
Each episode explores future wonder products that might rise to success and redefine our lives.
Experts and entrepreneurs discuss the trends shaping what today's everyday technology may look like tomorrow, before a leading futurist offers their predictions on what life might be like within five, ten and fifty years.
This episode examines the future of our clothing.
How can manufacturers dye clothes without using water?
Could 'smart' fabrics monitor weather conditions and provide extra warmth or cooling when we need it?
Will our body movements, instead of bulky batteries, provide the power for clothing to monitor our health?
Will synthetic material be completely replaced by natural fibres and those made from waste products?
Greg is joined by the futurist, Tracey Follows, and expert guests Dr Marie O'Mahony, programme leader for E-textiles and Wearable Technologies at the Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton and Jenny Prendergast, Programme Leader for Fashion and Design Technology at Loughborough University.
This episode was produced by Jay Unger.
