RFID Clothing Label System
(the clothes tell the washing machine how they should be washed)
The concept was to create a brand new user experience to improve on what is viewed as a mundane chore.
Using simple RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, reprogrammed to hold the clothing wash settings. The clothing labels don't just show the user how to wash them, but also tell the washing machine.
NO MORE PINK SHIRTS!
The washing machine's display will warn you if the current wash load may cause problems, and prevent you from ruining your clothing.
