Clothes that Change: Sensor networks and art
A highly creative London-based company called "Cute Circuit" brings together expertise in sensor networks (both sensing and actuation), art/design and textiles, to weave together a range of clothes that enable people to hug each other via Bluetooth (Hug Shirt), a dress to change patterns based on the mood of the person wearing it (KineticDress), and clothes that change shape and colour depending on the time of day (Mystique). A really good demonstration of art and technology.
