Mobile phone jacket
Mobile phone jacket. Researcher wearing a digital mobile phone denim jacket. The keypad printed on the jacket is backed by two sheets, comprising strips of conducting and non-conducting fabric, arranged at right angles. Holes in an insulating layer between the two sheets allow the conducting strips to come into contact when the numbers are pressed. A mobile phone transmitter and receiver can be attached to the jacket so that phone calls can be made and received via an ear piece and microphone (not seen). The fabric can be folded, crumpled and even washed. Developed at the MIT Media Laboratory, USA

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking invention in the world of technology and fashion. A researcher is seen proudly donning a digital mobile phone denim jacket, designed with utmost innovation. The jacket features a keypad printed on its fabric, backed by two sheets composed of conducting and non-conducting fabric strips arranged perpendicularly. The genius lies in the holes present in an insulating layer between these sheets, allowing the conducting strips to make contact when numbers are pressed. This ingenious mechanism enables the wearer to make and receive phone calls through an attached mobile phone transmitter and receiver. Although not visible in the image, an earpiece and microphone complete this cutting-edge communication setup. What makes this creation even more remarkable is that it retains all qualities expected from clothing - it can be folded, crumpled, or even washed without compromising functionality. Developed at the prestigious MIT Media Laboratory in Massachusetts, USA, this marvel of engineering merges personal computing with wearable technology seamlessly. While we cannot mention any commercial use associated with this product due to copyright restrictions imposed by Science Photo Library (SPL), it undoubtedly represents a significant leap forward for both telecommunication and fashion industries alike. With its potential applications yet to be fully explored, this mobile phone jacket paves the way for future advancements at the intersection of science and style.
