Invisible T-shirt for Blind People
Functional fabric allowing blind people to communicate and find their way. A GPS system is built into the fabric and helps blind people travel around the city. This product provides functionality, not only a visual effect. By touching the braille text displayed on the T-Shirt, the blind person is able to learn its color, textile fiber and style. The relief pattern is not just decoration, it provides more functions, such as maps and images to the wearer. Multiple pockets provide slots for the user to put keys and other items.

Finding of the jury:
Good application of actual theme to develop functional clothes with available technology. The relevance of use could be explored beyond blind people, offering this portable system for further communication and navigation applications.
