What Color Is Your Attitude?

Thursday December 20, 2007

Talk about clothing that leaves nothing to the imagination: A new dress changes color to reflect your mood.

Philips Electronics has introduced the Bubelle Dress -- fashion lined with biometric sensors that pick up a person's emotions and expresses them in the fabric. If you're hot, you're hot. And if you're cold as ice, you won't fool anyone.

"You could program the material so that it turned red if you were angry or stressed, or green when you're calm," Ingrid Bal of Philip's Design told Britain's Daily Mail.

The dress isn't just reflecting body temperature. It's measuring heart rate and other metabolic functions associated with stress, arousal and other emotions.

Bal adds that shape-changing electronic tattoos are in the works. One day your chest is proclaiming "Harley Davidson" and by supper it's cooing "Mother".
