Color Changing Clothing

[Killa Klown]

I was wondering if it is possible to mix fabric and color changing ink (like the ink that is put on micorwaveble syrup labels to tell when it is hot). Then put a heat conducting copper wire in the core middle of the color changing fabric. The effect will therefore be that when the copper wire is heated through electric conductivity the ink on the fabric will change from white (standard color) to what ever color is giving to the ink to change into, thereby making the entire fabric string to change to that color.

Now if you do this process to all the colors in the color spectrum then you could entwine all of the different color changing fabric strings into one string that can itself change into any color, now if you make a shirt out of this all color changing fabric then that shirt can turn into any color (white being the standard color).

To make it even better you could add some type of digital camera with inner flash that would take a picture of it's enviroment and send electrical signals to the primary color changing fabric string necessary to mimic the enviroment.

Back in the 90's there was a fad of colour changing clothing. They dye reacted with bodyheat to change colour. I guess it didn't really become popular otherwise they'd still be around.

Cool, do you know how that color changing process would work. Information about this topic would really help me with the project.

P.S.

By the way I don't recognize those names.

This should help...I believe this is the brand Transdecimal was talking about. Though it's a far cry from what you want to achieve (last paragraph of your OP)
