Pretty cool. 
Looking at the high res pic it seems they are using a 27x27pixel (3x(3x3)) array. I wonder when they hit 1280x960... :thinking:

That's going to be a terrific accessory for DOT highway crews who work at night. It might actually save some lives.

Looks like it could be prohibitively expensive to manufacture.

I'm assuming these garments will be "dry clean only."

The video is pretty awesome. I could see these taking off at clubs/raves and such. I also wonder about cleaning and one more thing- power supply??
