PAN-O-MATIC'S latest collaboration with Eyebeam R&D Fellow Jeff Crouse explores telematic manufacturing in Second Life with the project "Invisible Threads". Working with a team of highly trained technologists, real world customers can order custom designed jeans that are virtually manufactured in the Double Happiness factory on Eyebeam Island in Second Life. After completing the production cycle the jeans are output back into the real world via a large format printer. After simple assembly the jeans are ready to be worn.
