Sun and Rain Protection

The pollen pixels provide water resistance by interlocking with multiple other pixels, providing a tightly weaved surface. The pixel structure is made up of a central core with multiple willowy strands which weave together tightly with other pixels strands, as they are microscopic they make it almost impossible for the water to penetrate though the strands and get to the person underneath. Much like the waterproof properties of Gore-Tex and the dense polymer strands.

Sun protection is provided firstly by the shade which the shelter forms as well as the densely tight weaved pixel strands. The shelter becomes denser and more UV absorbent when a group of people are together as more pixels are utilized to provide the shelter. The sun protection is much the same as the rain protection in that the pixels strands interlock and weave together to form a tightly formed surface.
