The search for the perfect pair of jeans will get easier with the launch of this idea. Why not mail custom made jeans directly to person's door. Customers will first visit an office where they will be scanned in the company's pre-existing 3D scanners. The data will then be analyzed by custom software, allowing customers to choose from varying styles of wash, rise, or fit. The jeans will be manufactured at a central facility and mailed to the client. The system is supposed to...

Why not create a new fabric able to release active substances over time, delivering medicines through the skin of the wearer? The fabric will include a 'donor layer' which will coat each fiber. The wearer's own body warmth, perspiration, and vibration will cause the fabric to release its medicine at a controllable rate. The fabric will be washed in any conventional washing machine and then re-supplied with medicine.

A shoe with an integrated GPS system will provide real time tracking, making keeping track of family and patients with dementia a simpler task. The system will use a low power two way GPS to constantly track the wearer in real time, allowing caregivers to receive an alert on their cell phone if their charge wanders out of range.

The idea is to design shoes that will use haptic feedback and Google Maps to guide the visually impaired to their destination. The shoes will be intended to guide the user to specific destinations through vibrations on different areas of the shoe. The user will enter their destination on Google Maps with special application enabled smartphone, which will communicate with the circuit board in the heel of the shoe. By following Google's turn-by-turn directions, the vibrators will...

A self cleaning cloth will be able to destroy bacteria and toxins when exposed to light, which could be used to make safer clothing for farmers and medical workers. The cloth could be developed by incorporating the unusual compound 2-anthraquinone carboxylic acid (2-AQC) into the fabric. The compound will bond to the cotton without changing its properties, and produce hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide when exposed to light, which instantly will kill bacteria and break down...

Space is an issue for any backpacker. Why not create camp shoes that can make the most of limited space, zipping into themselves and reducing their size by half? The shoes will be made of a lightweight ripstop fabric and will be lined with a fleece-lined footbed that will be removed for cleaning. The outsoles will be made of 42 percent recycled rubber, which will provide a non-slip surface for walking around the campsite. The camp shoes can be attached to the outside of a...

Why not create 'air conditioned' clothing as a way to deal with the restrictions on electricity during the summer heat? It is possible to develop jackets and shirts, as well as cushions and mattresses, with built in fans. The jackets will include two electric fans powered by a lithium ion battery pack. The fans will draw the air in at up to 20 liters per second, circulating it through the jacket where it will dry off sweat and evacuate through the collar and cuffs.

The idea is to create a spray-on antibacterial coating which will work even after several washings and will be applied to a variety of textiles as well as other materials. The polymer coating is supposed to be simple, inexpensive, and scalable. Able to kill a wide spectrum of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, it will be applied to both natural and synthetic materials, either during manufacturing or at home by the owner. The coating will be able to survive several hot water washings, and...

Just one more incredible way to charge your phone... Why not develop a shirt that can convert sound waves into electricity to charge mobile devices. The shirt will use a flat microphone panel of piezoelectric film to absorb the high decibels. The leads from the shirt will be interchangeable so that to be used with a variety of smartphones, and the water sensitive components will be removable to allow the shirt to be washed in conventional washing machines.
