Interactive Intel-Edison based Synapse dress by Dutch fashion-tech designer reveals wearers metal states
September 17, 2014

Exploration in interactive bio-sensing garments - 3D printed Intel-Edison powered Synapse dress logs and communicates mood and level of (dis)stress. Created by Dutch Fashion Tech designer Anouk Wipprecht with Niccolo Casas and Intel's New Devices Group as a research into 'sensing garments'; as the dress logs your mood, and senses you far beyond one set of bio-signals only, the dress becomes a little ecosystem which monitors your behaviour, while co-evolving with the space around your body. The dress acts on the wearers behalf due to embedded sensors and actuators and logging hardware. Checkout movie for more info an a lil voice-over.

The dress is digital created (Maya, Zbrush) and 3D printed at Materialise (3D printing service) in the flexible TPU 92A-1 in a laser sintering technique, dyed with an metallic pearl embedded with the system layered within the front piece and shoulder mount.
