Are you still watching television in standard def? How humiliating. Because Brother has just announced the world’s first sewing machine with a built-in camera to display your work on an “HD” screen.
At last, good news for worldwide economy. A Bangladeshi company has released the SmartStitch, a portable sewing machine that will allow clothing factory workers to produce 24/7, with obvious benefits.
This concept of a sewing machine was created by SOUNDS.BUTTER, a design group interested in physically representing sound waves. They sought to represent it tactically instead of digitally where sound is oft seen in sound and music editing. The sewing machine was chosen because of its association with industriousness and physicality. While it is a very unique concept, I’d be curious to see exactly what Metallica would look like under this sewing machine—would it actually turn into a picture of sex and drugs?
