The third annual CES Asia came to a close this week with a celebration of wearable technology. The grand finale was a fashion show that featured cutting-edge sports tech alongside biometric ballgowns.

The e-skin shirt, by Japanese developer Xenoma, is a machine-washable top that uses 15 sensors to monitor the wearer's movements. It's designed not only for sport, but also for motion-capture, so you could use your body as a game controller without the need for cameras or markers in the room.

Pulse is an experimental wearable technology sponsored by the Nano EXtended Textiles (NEXT) research group at North Carolina Sate University's College of Textiles. It uses conductive screenprinted biosensors and textile-embedded lights inspired by bioluminscent organisms.

NEXT's work includes creating textile-inspired electronics (low-cost printed components, for example), and using technologies like atomic layer deposition to change the thermal, electrical and optical properties of polymers.

True North by PHI: Illuminated Design

PHI: Illuminated Design is a Canadian collective specializing in wearable technology and art. Designers Stacey Morgan and Kenzie Housego work alongside electrical engineer Sophie Amin to create clothing that reacts to input from biometric sensors and the wearer's environment.

True North is inspired by magnetic fields and the Canadian climate. The two-piece dress uses fiber-optic tubes and LEDs that illuminate when the wearer faces north, then fade out as they turn away.

Solos augmented reality sunglasses were designed in collaboration with USA Cycling. They provide fitness performance tracking and training tools in a heads-up display (similar to Google Glass).

The virtual five-inch screen is adjustable for comfort, and the glasses are controlled using voice commands, Bluetooth input, and three physical buttons.
