Upcoming Sony smartwatch , bow tie, shoe, hat to use e-paper screen (FES )

ahhming

Fashion Entertainments startup (FES) behind that crowdfunded watch is in fact a subdivision of Sony, tasked with designing and experimenting with products that can define the next evolution in personal electronic devices.

 

 

The watch’s face and band will be made of e-paper and serve as a combined display surface.

 

The watch’s face and wrist band will be made from a patented material that allows the entire surface area to function as a display and change its appearance, the people said, asking not to be named because it hasn’t been announced. The device will emphasize style, rather than trying to outdo more technological offerings like Apple Inc.’s watch and Sony’s own Smartwatch, they said.

The company is also looking into making bow ties (see video below), hat and shoe accessories, and paper holders out of electronic paper. There's no release date set for this watch yet

 

Here is a video where they flex the material and cut it.

I would like to question the durability of using this instead of a regular band, and if having the band being a screen is even useful whatsoever.

I love e-ink screens and I think they are under rated. I own a pebble and I feel for certain applications, like a watch, e-ink screens are the best. I would buy a e-ink screen e-reader i knew of a easy way to read manga with it.
