交互式3d打印可穿戴外套

It is an outfit that attracts attention - and one that can stare back.

这是一件引人注目,同时也能“反观外界”的外套。

 
Fitted with a range of gadgetry, this fabric is covered with smart fibres that can expand and contract depending on who, and where, people look at it.
 
By detecting how old they are and whether they're men or women, it knows just how much to respond.
 
Those features may not make 'Caress of the Gaze,' as creator Behnaz Farahi calls it, creep-proof, but it certainly lets them know something's blocked their gaze.
 
Beneath the garb's spotted spikes lie a hidden camera and microcontroller.
 
They use an algorithm to spot onlookers and determine exactly where they're looking, twisting around the wearer to match where they're glancing.
 
'What if our outfit could recognize and respond to the gaze of the other?' Farahi writes on her website.
 
'This is an interactive 3D printed wearable, which can detect other people's gaze and respond accordingly with life-like behaviour.'
