The 'Aliqua' vest concept has been designed by Tea Vignoli as a garment for runners that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve an optimized accessory. The vest is positioned as a solution to the various flaws associated with the running garment and features a series of bladders to support optimal hydration during runs. The bladders are strategically positioned away from areas of the body that produce the most heat (i.e. the center of the back) to prevent the water from warming up too quickly.
The 'Aliqua' vest concept also features strategic perforations to dissipate heat during training, while additional space for water flasks and snacks are observed on the front. The garment identifies how AI technology could be used to fine-tune product design rather than requiring constant prototyping.
