“The Butterfly Dress” is a technology incorporated dress that has 40 fabric butterflies attached to it that can flutter and fly when its sensors are activated, either when a person comes close or when it is controlled via a mobile device.
This is an interesting piece and would be a show stopper for gala events 😀 It’s just kinda sad that the butterflies won’t return back to the shoulder after they flutter, or am I wrong?
Still, I enjoy the idea of this work, in the future they can put like ninja stars instead of butterflies so we can guard ourselves lol, I’m thinking too far.
The butterflies actually can return to the shoulder after they flutter away! I think they show that in the video in that link, you could check it out! 🙂
Incorporating wearable and technology is always interesting and Professor Galina is exploring in this field. I like the idea of the butterfly dress as it seems like it is interacting with the user. It would be exciting to see what are the prototype before the final dress was being made.
