You must have all heard about the hi-tech dress that turns transparent when horny! Now here is a freaky, eye-popping “glow-in-the-dark” outfit that moves and lights up when you look at it. Crazy but true!
Fashioned by Montreal-based designer Ying Gao, this super-light, super-interactive dress made from shredded and ruched super-organza, world's lightest fabric, and stitched with photo-luminescent thread, uses complex eye-tracking technology that gets activated when looked at making the dress gleam and change shape.
These loose white and ivory shift dresses boast of tiny eye-tracking electronic devices and small motors that gets activated when looked at. The hi-tech sensory technology transforms the pale, sheer dresses into luminescent “wonders” at every gaze.
Explaining the concept, designer Ying Gao said, “We use an eye-tracking system so the dresses move when a spectator is staring.” “The system can also turn off the lights, then the dresses illuminate,” she added.
Gao, whose work is heavily inspired from a Paul Virilo essay, further explained, “Whether it is a direct visual contact or through a camera, the artistic concept of gaze has always appealed to me. Therefore, when my robotics designer Simon Laroche and I started working on the project, we thought a lot about how to bring both the conceptual and technological level together.”
