Project 4: Morph Suit

Pauler technology created nanobeads that when in large quantity are able to morph together. These beads are also able to sync to a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Through this sync, the nanobeads can be programmed to morph into specific shapes, colors, and texture. Originally, Pauler technology wanted these beads to be used as a go-2-everything. With these beads, people could just carry it around or keep it in their house. Whenever, they needed something like a stuff animal, a blanket, towel, etc. it is assessable to them because it could morph into many things. It was programmed to only have a dozen options of use. However, the CEO realized that people weren’t really interesting in this. Although, it was a breakthrough not enough people were attracted to this new invention. So, the CEO decided that this new nanobeads needed to go to a good use. The Pauler team went hard to work. After a few months of ideas boards, polls, surveys, and experiment, the morph suit was formed. The physical appearance is a skin-tight suit made of nanobeads. The nanobeads were initially in the form of this suit. Since the nanobeads are able to programmed and synced, the customer could select an outfit/clothing online and then download the outfit onto the suit.  Pauler technology created this suit that is able to morph into different types of clothes with different colors, textures, and thickness. Once you synced the suit with your personal electronic devices, you can download an outfit for the day. The Pauler technology branched off with a sister company for a designer outfits. The Pauler brand designed outfits that people could download. With the purchase of the morph suit, a limited clothing line would be provided for free, and would change seasonally. Since it is limited, most people would need more outfits. However, to get more outfits you would have to purchase and download into your “closet” online. For the clothes/outfits you purchased, you get to keep in your “closet” forever, however, for the free outfits with the purchase you would have to download them every time you want to use them. After you download it, use it, and “change out of it”, it would just be returned to the store. It would not return to your “closet”. After this technology came out, all the department stores slowly but surely came out with their own digital download of outfits. However, these department store online outfits would also require a purchase and download into your “closet”.

To “change out of” your clothing, you would just go to your personal electric device and turn off your suit, then it will morph back into the skin-tight suit. After a day you can change into your pajamas or never take off the suit and just morph it into a pajama. This invention saves space, material, and money.

There also can be gifting online. You can buy and “ship” people clothing. It would automatically transfer into their online closet.

This does bring up a problem of labor. There are many workers that make physical clothes. These workers would all be out of jobs and would create a large loss of jobs. There would be a larger demand for designers and programmers that can create a digital outfit. However, all the workers who manufactured physical clothing in factories do not have skills in design. They could not get these jobs even if they tried. Since all the outfits are online, people could be able to hack the website and download an unlimited amount of outfits into their “closets”. There would be a lot more shoplifting or “shophacking” from all kinds of people. There might be a black market for clothing where you could illegally download clothes. Also, one type of suit might discriminate against body types. Preferably, they morph suit would be custom made, but that would increase cost a lot more. If not, the suits may not be designed for those with larger body types or with larger waists or breasts. This problem is happening now with the physical clothes, and this morph suit would challenge and bring to light this problem. Hopefully, these suits will be better adjusted to different body types because supposedly this is the only clothing they would buy.

This might reinforce social divisions because the suit would be rather expensive and only those in the upper middle class and upper class. This puts a division between classes and reinforce this gap between the poor and wealthy. However, since the clothes that morph will look like regular clothes, people shouldn’t be able to tell the difference. This item was mostly designed geared toward women because of the need for new clothes all the time. Women are constantly shopping and buying new clothes. So typically, most of the digital outfits would be geared toward women and not as much clothing for men. It will demonstrate how the clothing industry is really geared toward women.

Although this technology will probably never exist, it puts in perspective the issues of the clothing industry and the pressure of a skinny body.
