飛利浦的研發(fā)團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)明了這樣奇特的衣服:不僅漂亮,還能讓別人知道你的感受。
【section one】article
emotive clothing
the bubelle blush dress
the inner layer of this outfit is equipped with sensors that respond to the changes in the wearer's emotions and project them onto the textile on the outer layer.
the frisson
this body suit incorporates hundreds of miniature leds which are attached to sensitive electronic hairs covering the surface of the body. they light up when they are brushed or blown on.
inspiration
a sketch of the frisson evokes the designer's intention.
glow in the dark
the bubelle dress relies on miniature projectors for its effect.
dynamic
according to the designers, the frisson leds light up in the same way that the skin would tingle, blush or shiver when blown on or stimulated.
elegant
the researchers sought to challenge the idea that a digital world is automatically a better world. their work exploits technologies that are more sensitive than "intelligent".
prototype
at present, neither outfit is available for sale.
blue bubelle
though the colors the dress creates can be interpreted in a variety of ways, the designers say that red tends to denote strong emotions, while blue reflects more mild states of mind.
a new functionality
the design team continues to develop devices which are responsive to subtle triggers like sensuality, affection and sensation.
fashion statement
according to clive van heerden, the project director, it is quite possible in the future that "we will no longer have objects like music contained on disks or books that are actually printed. an opportunity is therefore emerging for us to completely rethink our interaction with products and content."
