Stitch
Stitch aims to break down the stereotype that social interactions and technology are mutually exclusive. We intend to change the idea that when a person is on their phone or computer, they are not engaged in the world around them. We are using technology as a way to spark conversation, not hinder it. Stitch is a smart fabric patch that displays a person’s aggregated web app updates (such as social media, music, and news article titles), and is re-attachable to clothing and accessories such as purses. Stitch uses e-ink to display the user’s aggregated web app updates. Users may select from a variety of e-ink colors for their monochrome display.
