The dress that moves when you look at it

[Jazzy]

If you are caught staring at a head-turning outfit, it's normally the wearer who notices your gaze, not the clothes themselves. Until now.

A forward-thinking Chinese fashion designer has used complex sensory technology to create a dress that moves, changes shape and even lights up when it is looked at.

Montreal-based designer Ying Gao installed her high-fashion creations with eye-tracking technology so that they activate when they sense someone's gaze.

Gao's loose white and ivory shift dresses are made from shredded and ruched super-organza- the world's lightest fabric.

They are sewn with photoluminescent thread and contain tiny eye-tracking electronic devices.

The gaze-activated dresses have small motors sewn into them that can move parts of the dress and make them change shape.

Sensory technology is used to transform the garments from pale, ethereal dresses into luminescent art works that resemble jellyfish.

Ying Gao explained the concept to Dezeen: 'We use an eye-tracking system so the dresses move when a spectator is staring, she said.

'[The system] can also turn off the lights, then the dresses illuminate.'

Terrifying technology.

nevermind the dress

I think the technology is incredible. I, however, wouldn't want to wear a dress that moves.

This just happened to me:

I was going to post a picture my wife took of the girls on FB.

IT 'tagged' one of them before I even clicked save.

The websites facial recognition software identified her just based on the thumbnail that came up before I clicked save.

I backed out and didn't upload it. I don't know if FB kept the photo or not. And there's nothing I can do about it if they did.

Couple that with Eye Tracking sensors and software that is "wearable" and you come up with a "movie of the week" and no mistake.

"Enchanting" is the best word, I feel.
