Voici un article/entrevue avec la Designer Allemande Anouk Wipprecht, qui a crée, en collaboration avec l'architecte Niccolo Casas et la technologie Intel Edison, une robe intelligente, qui grâce a des capteurs, analyse le comportement du corps humain. Serait-ce une nouvelle invention dans le monde du vêtement qui deviendra «normale» d'ici quelques années?
Comment la robe fonctionne « The Synapse Dress is an experiment between the wearer's internal and external state, aimed at being 'interactive fashion' gone smart. this dress functions as an sensing garment, an dress based on bio-signals acting on the wearers behalf due to embedded sensors and actuators. Like Anouk's other works, her over the top high-tech meets fashion style suits to a broad audience, to impress and ignite. But - the designer says - she also sees a very app-liable approach to the concept. As the dress logs your mood, and senses you far beyond one set of bio-signals only, the dress can become a little ecosystem which monitors your attitude, integrating the data from many sensors to put interaction back in the hands of the wearer, while co-evolving with the system around your body. »
« Dresses as communication medium: functioning as interface or 'medium' between wearers body/skin and surroundings; a privilege to wear or a necessity very soon? Get in line, as this designer could release some designs to the market in a near future, if only to supply us with otherworldliness. »
