Abstract
A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements. The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements.
Claims22
A portable fluidic animation system having a capsule comprising at least one decorative element, the capsule filled with one or more fluids, the one or more fluids having a selected viscosity, refraction index, or a volumetric mass enabling an interaction with the at least one decorative element such that a mechanical fixation element which fixes or limits motion of the at least one decoration element has substantially the same refractive index as the one or more fluids so as to be essentially invisible therein, said at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in the one or more fluids by the mechanical fixation element, wherein a combination of (a) the density of the at least one decorative element, (b) the density of the fluid, (c) the viscosity of the one or more fluids, and/or (d) a change of the orientation of the capsule relative to gravity generates an animation or movement of the at least one decorative element.
