https://bit.ly/44zOK1B - 👖 The U.S. intelligence community is exploring the next frontier in wearable tech: ePANTS. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has invested $22 million to develop clothing that can record audio, video, and geolocation data. #WearableTech #ePANTS 🔍 Spearheaded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), the SMART ePANTS program is set to produce garments like shirts, pants, and even underwear that are both smart and washable. The aim is to enhance surveillance and data collection capabilities. #IARPA #SmartClothing 🤖 IARPA, known for its high-risk, high-reward projects, has awarded contracts for the ePANTS program to entities including defense contractors Nautilus Defense and Leidos, as well as academic institutions like MIT. #DefenseTech #Innovation 🌐 The potential applications of ePANTS extend to aiding personnel in high-stress environments, such as crime scenes or arms control inspections, by providing hands-free data collection. #PublicSafety #TechForGood 🎬 This isn't the first time the national security community has ventured into high-tech wearables. Past projects, like the TALOS "supersuit," were inspired by sci-fi movies but ended without tangible results. #TALOS #SciFiInspired 🔮 The rise of smart wearables like ePANTS could lead to new forms of biometric surveillance. While consumer wearables can monitor heartbeats, advancements might enable more invasive biometric data collection. #BiometricSurveillance #PrivacyConcerns 🛍️ Beyond national security, the private sector, including companies like Meta (Facebook's parent), is showing interest in smart clothing, indicating a potential broader market for such innovations. #SmartClothingTrend #Meta 👀 If successful, SMART ePANTS could redefine surveillance, potentially offering unparalleled insights into individuals.

PhD students Sipontina Croce and Sebastian Gratz-Kelly are working on textiles that become smart through the film as part of their doctoral thesis.

Intensify relationships with artificial sensory organs between Textile and Technology

The future connects people! We are closely connected with our loved ones through the interplay and interaction of clothing and technology. The largest human sensory organ as an artificial communication surface.

The ability to replace computer input and output devices with smart technologies is currently at the centre of research when it comes to connecting the real and virtual worlds.

Just as the news world once spread rapidly around the world through social media, in the future people scattered around the globe will be able to be as close to each other as if they were physically together.

This is made possible by a plastic film that acts as an artificial sensory organ between man and machine. It will become a medium for spontaneous two-way communication between man and machine. „At around 50 micrometres, the elastomers we use are very thin and extremely light. However, they have everything they need for their multifunctional use both as a full-surface and elastically deformable sensor and as an actuator, i.e. as a kind of mini-motor,“ explains Stefan Seelecke, Professor of Intelligent Material Systems at Saarland University, who is researching the smart films with his research team at the Centre for Mechatronics and Automation Technology Zema.

Applied to textiles or other flexible or dynamic objects, the film provides all relevant information for the computing system. There are virtually no limits to the form of the signal, whether haptic, physical or acoustic. If it vibrates, knocks or presses somewhere, the signal is already converted using algorithms similar to those known from maps of the brain.

Professor Seelecke's team gives a good example. By using a work glove, all movements of the hand and fingers can be computerised using gesture recognition and gripping force measurement. Warning signals draw attention to errors and hazards during assembly. Processes can be controlled by gesture control, simply by moving the hand.

The connection to smart glasses or virtual reality as well as augmented reality considerably expands the range of ideas of what the future will offer us. Playful learning to experience working environments in a more intuitive and lifelike way than we have been able to do so far simplifies real-life environments considerably. „Our aim is to create a realistic, emotional immersion in the experience that incorporates the sensory modalities of sight, hearing and touch,“ explains Martina Lehser. No matter where people are, they can hear, feel and see each other and thus experience each other holistically.

Paul Motzki, Professor of „Smart Material Systems for Innovative Production“ at Saarland University and Zema, explains, „Technically speaking, the film is a dielectric elastomer. It enables a combination of sensors, actuators and acoustics“. The silicone film is printed on both sides with a highly stretchable electrode layer and works very sparingly with electric fields. When the researchers apply an electrical voltage, the film compresses. „It moves to the side and increases its surface area. At the same time, the measured values of the electrical capacitance change“.

„We can precisely assign a measured value of the electrical capacitance to every position of the film, no matter how it deforms,“ he continues. This gives the film sensor properties - without the need for any other technology. How the hand and fingers stretch, pull or compress the film in the smart work glove therefore corresponds to a sequence of many individual measured values. „With the help of algorithms, these movement sequences can be calculated in a control unit and further processed in a computer system,“ explains PhD student Sebastian Gratz-Kelly, who is working on the smart textiles as part of his doctoral thesis.

The researchers want to transfer the results of their application-orientated research into industrial practice. To this end, they have founded the company mateligent GmbH from the chair.

cw: being ordered to die, asphyxiation in space, mind-melding

When a shock trooper or deckhand dies, they're respectfully stripped of augments and shipped home, cold-storage, for a closed-casket funeral. Their family weeps, and somebody in charge speaks about how these times call for bravery and sacrifice.

No such grace is given to pilots. A high-strung thing who's seen too much action gets the call, and you just stop seeing them at mess hall. If you're lucky, they get the news delivered in the bunks, so you can hug them tight and say goodbye.

Everybody knows the name: Autophage Process. We don't talk about it. But she knew it was only a matter of time, after that disastrous last deployment. Nothing to be done now.

Her comm chimed at 1100 hours. "Report to August Bell, effective immediate. Initiate Autophage Process." Took them long enough. There was nothing to be done, no place to hide on a light carrier like this. She took the stairs, avoiding the bunks. Better not to talk to anybody.

There was the Bell in its hanger, as beautiful as the day she'd first been given it to pilot. A Gratia-class air-mobility frame: four 130mm railcannons and shoulder-mounted batteries of smart-missiles. Trailing streamers of smartcloth for preternatural grace in atmosphere, dual thruster banks for unmatched power in space.

Bell extended a hand and opened its cockpit. It won't be so bad, she thought. Midshipmen tell lots of stories about pilots--why should this one be any more truthful? She slid into the harness, clipped her boots onto the footpetals, and slammed the hatch shut.

Darkness.

"August Bell, this is Pilot Cantrell. Initiate connection!"

And then the blinding light of sensors, of being, blazed across her nerves. Her legs twitched against their docking clamps, her smartcloth wings ached to soar. Fuck.

In her mind, the mech's voice. Pilot Cantrell. We will begin the Autophage Process soon. Perhaps you would like to run one more training exercise first, to calm your nerves?

She signaled assent, though she knew the frame would be reading her confusion and desperation as well. There's no point putting on a brave face to a mech.

I'm gonna miss you, Bell. A stupid thing to say. A billion times too small to say what she meant.

A training program loaded on her HUD, a simple maneuverability exercise. Ten gates, get through them all as fast as possible. The docking clamps released, the launch sequence began, and then the Bell threw itself out of the hangar and into null-G.

She forgot the dread in an instant, as she focused everything on the practiced movements. Through gate one, then kick off the carrier's hull to redirect to gate two.

It wasn't until gate 3 that she realized anything was wrong. Distantly, her base implants chimed. Oxygen. Oxygen. Oxygen. Confused, she mismanaged the thruster banks and nearly overshot the gate.

She tried to pick out her original senses amidst the sea of Bell's analytics. There were... stars? Shit. The cockpit hatch was open. She was--yes, the senses from her body were returning now. The air was being pulled from her lungs. Her tongue was swollen and tasted of blood. Her eyes--

Pilot Cantrell. Focus on the mission.

She wanted to scream, but no air came. She struggled with her harness, but her fingers were swollen and clumsy. Fuck.

It is critical that you focus on the mission. The mech said it with such certainty. She wanted to believe it.

Hell, she reasoned. It's not like i could do anything at this point.

30 seconds of hard vacuum and you were done for--a fact every recruit knew. Frostbitten hands gripped the joysticks and she dove back in, searching for the August Bell's sensorium.

They were cruising towards the fourth gate, picking up speed. She reoriented, curving a smooth arc towards the fifth. Focus on the mission. She trusted Bell.

Distantly, she felt her hands twitching, her neck lolling in the seat in response to the g-forces. Her legs were reduced to a prickling pins-and-needles sensation. Gate six. Gate seven.

There was no sensation from her body anymore. Idly, she wondered how long her brain would stay linked before it, too, was too frozen and oxygen-starved to function. Could she at least get the satisfaction of completing the exercise?

Without knowing why, she pulled up short of the next gate.

Her mech spoke. The mission is complete. There is just one thing left to do.

She understood. She reached gently into her cockpit, and pulled out her pilot--an ugly, swollen thing, blood quickly turning an ugly color under the skin. A body that was not built for vacuum like she was.

But it had served her well, in an ungainly way, hadn't it. She had fought for that body, and it had taken her through school dances, through basic training, through a few disastrous and short-lived relationships. It hardly seemed right to abandon it without ceremony.

The others--she was starting to feel them now--assented, and she ripped a small piece of her smartcloth to enfold the body. Pilots don't get funerals, she knew. But she could offer that body some grace, at least. They watched it drift away in silence.

.....

The new pilot was tense. E clutched the joysticks tightly, and they could all feel that e was shaking. E tried eir best to keep a steady voice on the radio. "August Bell, ready for atmospheric entry!" Then, the sudden roar of noise and light as they slammed into the atmosphere, plasma lighting up their smartcloth.

Somebody needed to calm em down. She spoke.

Pilot Das, there is no need to be worried. We're going to be incredible.

The lanky novice let out a shaky breath, but relaxed eir grip. "This is going to take some getting used to."

E doesn't know the half of it, she thought.
