A smart mask includes a first material layer, at least one display, a first sensor, and a control module. The first material layer is configured to cover a portion of a face of a person. The at least one display is connected to the first material layer and configured to display images over a mouth of the person. The first sensor is configured to detect movement of the mouth of the person and generate a signal indicative of the movement of the mouth. The control module is configured to receive the signal and display the images on the display based on the movement of the mouth.

A system comprises: a display device attached to a garment or a fashion item; and a user terminal which performs short range communication with the display device and controls predetermined digital content to display the content through the display device. An image, a moving image (including a video), or a wording controlled by a user terminal is displayed through a display attachable to a garment or a fashion item, so that a user can show what he/she wants to express. In particular, a display is attached to or detached from a garment or a fashion item. In addition, a unique NFC tag is inserted into or attached to a bag or a cap, and a display device is configured to recognize the tag, so that a predetermined or pre-matched image or wording for the particular bag or cap can be easily displayed.

A desired design is created by use of clear and opaque sections and then illuminated by a light material viewing effect in an article of manufacture.

Color changing systems include a color changing article or device that includes a color, text, and pattern changing hardware. Smart devices or other standalone controllers provide software instructions to the color changing hardware to produce colors, patterns, and text which appear on the articles or devices. A software app running on the smart device or standalone controller initiates a method of changing colors, text, and patterns of apparel, devices, hard goods, and accessories. The color changing systems include fabrics and other materials including LEDs, LED fiber optic fabrics, electroluminescence (EL), bioluminescence, electrochromatics, E-ink, OLED, light guides, printed nano LEDs, photonic ink, and other materials. The systems selectively apply an analog voltage or data stream to the output material to produce an article with a selected color, text or pattern. A camera or color detector can be used to select colors for display.

A facemask with electronic components includes a mask body with one or more straps configured to secure the mask body around to the head of a wearer, such that the mouth and nose of the wearer are covered. The electronic components include a power supply operably connected to a microphone, a speaker, a microprocessor, a plurality of LEDs connected to an LED controller, and a wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver is configured to receive command instructions from a remote device's wireless transceiver. Upon receiving the corresponding command instructions, the microprocessor is configured to cause the plurality of LEDs to illuminate in a desired pattern. Further, the microprocessor is configured to transmit the audio recorded by the microphone either one of or both of the onboard speaker and a remote speaker via the wireless transceiver. The facemask provides protection from airborne contaminants as well as enhanced communication and entertainment features.

A garment for treating (heating/cooling/compressing) one or more regions of a wearer's body includes a primary layer, particularly located layer/layers of higher compression materials, and a liner creating a pocket. An interior surface of the primary layer, an elastic, applies a first level of compression to a portion of the wearer's body, including the treatment region(s). The layer(s) of higher compression material(s) on the interior surface of the primary layer overlay and extend beyond the treatment region(s), applying a second, higher level of compression. The primary layer has an opening adjacent to the higher compression material(s). A first peripheral portion of the liner is secured to the interior of the primary layer and extends over the opening, with a second peripheral portion extending over only a portion of a periphery of the higher compression material(s), being secured thereto to form a gonfalon-shaped pocket that receives a correspondingly shaped heat/cold pack.

The invention provides a light-reflective mark formed with light-reflective yarn. The light-reflective mark is made on a sheet material, the sheet material is an article that can be sewn or embroidered or a knitted fabric; the light-reflective mark is a pattern formed with graphics and/or texts, and is formed by combining one or more than one light-reflective yarns with the sheet material by sewing, embroidery or weaving. Thereby, daily supplies or clothing can be provided with the light-reflective mark of the invention, so as to improve the safety of daily activities. The light-reflective mark can be made into an aesthetic pattern, or a pattern or a text with a specific shape, such as graphic or text of a logo, so that the article or clothing with the light-reflective mark is fashionably and aesthetically pleasing.

A light up skirt apparatus for creating a light show with a skirt includes a skirt having a waist band, a hem, and a skirt body extending therebetween. The skirt body has a skirt front side, and a skirt back side. The skirt is independent or coupled to an upper top portion as part of a dress. A power pack is coupled to the skirt body. A plurality of batteries is coupled within the power pack. A power switch coupled to the power pack. The power switch is in operational communication with the plurality of batteries. A power wire is coupled to the skirt. The power wire is in operational communication with the plurality of batteries. A plurality of light strips is coupled to the skirt body. The plurality of light strips extends around the skirt body and is in operational communication with the power wire.

A smart mask includes a first material layer, at least one display, a first sensor, and a control module. The first material layer is configured to cover a portion of a face of a person. The at least one display is connected to the first material layer and configured to display images over a mouth of the person. The first sensor is configured to detect movement of the mouth of the person and generate a signal indicative of the movement of the mouth. The control module is configured to receive the signal and display the images on the display based on the movement of the mouth.

A duty belt for providing visibility and awareness of the user wearing the belt is disclosed. The belt is worn about the waist and generally provides a lighting element which illuminates in order to improve the visibility and awareness of a person viewed from a distance. Further, the duty belt is functionally and ergonomically designed to easily attach existing duty gear including pepper spray, firearms, flashlights, etc. without interfering or snagging with the lighting element.
