Wearable Tech: LED Eyelashes

A commenter on the facebook page asked me to elaborate on the cover photo we are currently using on the fan page's timeline, so here it goes:

The LED Eyelashes, created by Soomi Park, were designed somewhere before 2010. The LED eyelashes were introoduced as "a product that speaks to many Asian women's desire for bigger eyes".
The eyelashes are controlled by a tilt sensor, allowing you to control the lights by tilting your head.
Electronics are stored in a set of headphones.

Question time:
If technology allows these LED eyelashes to be elegantly designed, would this take flight in modern fashion, in your opinion?

Wearable Tech: Necomimi ears

2nd post today? Double trouble!

So, last month I came across the Necomimi ears. Cat ears on a ribbon bow, that respond to brain waves; every cos-players must-have! The idea was to have an external organ to communicate changes in mood, attention and stress levels. Since the developer was based in Japan, naturally this external organ was shaped as cat ears.

Today I found out that they actually managed to launch a retail edition, which first launched March 15 at the price of approx. $149,99, according to the developer, NeuroWear.


Question time:
In your opinion; would you prefer a world where everybody could get a read on your emotions?
(Feel free to elaborate in the comment section below.)


Here's the concept video from NeuroWear, showing the features of the Necomimi. Enjoy!

Wearable tech: lvl 80 Wizard

So; Wearable Tech. Technology you can wear. We're not talking about GORE-TEX or some other textile with rain-deflection capabilities. We're talking about intelligent clothing and accessories with capabilities beyond the run-of-the-mill raincoat, hoodie or ribbon bow.

For instance, take this hoodie from ThinkGeek. It is not in production as it was an April's fool prank, they played on their nerdy clientele, but the idea is AMAZING! (by my opinion any way). To express oneself with LED-powered magic spells is a dream come true for any guy familiar with MMORPGs or LARP.

I SERIOUSLY WANT ONE!
