Suzan Ereslan sent me this dress, which was her final job for her personal Expression as well as Wearable Technologies class at the Interactive Telecommunications job at NYU. (Man, when I went to institution you couldn’t do a degree in Interactive Telecommunications. You were lucky if you had a telephone, much less “Interactive Telecommunications.” as well as we had to walk uphill, in the snow, both ways, to even utilize stated phone. however I digress.)
Suzan writes: “The gown has touch switches that are found at different erogenous zones on the body. These can be taken off as well as put according to the wearer’s specific specifications. When somebody touches the wearer in the best spot, the lights around the bottom light up, indicating that the toucher is on the best path. The longer the switches are held (or the much more that are found), the longer the LEDs stay lit, as well as they cycle with a series of colors as well as speeds from flashing to a nice, throbbing pulse.”
Sounds such as this makes things as well simple for one’s partner? Well, that was the idea:
“The name of it (S-Dress) is a play on words–I was influenced by estrus, the swelling as well as reddening of the genitals in mammals other than humans, which notifies the male of the types that it’s mating time.”
Personally, I’m seeing a version for wear on public transit, that sets off a siren as well as tear gas if you feel a hand on your ass. perhaps a Taser bolt, too. Anyway, what an fascinating idea. I don’t believe there’s sufficient garments that lights up, whatever the reason for it.
To see photos of the inner building of the dress, click on the picture — it will take you to Suzan’s Flickr set.
