Video and Cool Stuff

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an innovative display that shows information through clothes and other fabrics. PocketView uses LED lights to display notifications for email or messages, time, weather or other basic information. It can function as a stand-alone piece of tech or could be incorporated into existing or next-generation smart devices. Researchers say the next generation of these LED displays could be incorporated into existing devices.
