Performing life detection and facial recognition through interactive clothes
Ying Gao, has created interactive designer dresses which perform life detection and facial recognition. The dresses “come to life depending on the individual beholding them”. The movement of these tissues reminiscent of microbial life is coordinated through sensors encrusted in the fiber that detect emotional reactions. They activate the movement only if the expression of the spectator’s face remains totally neutral and stop when an expression appears.” Check out the full article to learn more about all of her models at www.ladn.eu
