Abstract
Access to space is limited to humans due to a number of effects that cause anomalies in the functioning mechanisms of the human body. The rapidly growing phenomenon of space tourism, driven by the economic and commercial flywheel, contributes to medical and scientific research. Thanks to economic interests, space tourism, which seemed like a long-term project, is rapidly advancing medical and scientific research and tests. In this avant-garde scenario, Futur.Dress is a research project that intends to develop clothing in contact with the skin and interface with the spacesuit and/or with a normal type of clothing and will have all the characteristics of a "functional superskin", suitable for future space travellers. The "superskin" will be characterized by a particular impalpable fabric, structured in such a way as to be able to act specifically on the main problems that microgravity causes on the human body, it will not be invasive because it acts as an "underwear" garment and, therefore, does not interfere the action. The main objective of the project will be human well-being and well-being, in consideration of all the possible physiological, postural, ergonomic and perceptual changes registered so far.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
