Diffus pollution dress is turned on by CO2, prefers a clean environment

We've seen LED-laced dresses before -- though sometimes we'd rather we hadn't -- but this one here is almost refined enough for us to consider wearing. Stitched together using conductive embroidery, hundreds of LEDs are connected to a CO2 detector and react to its input with anything from a slow pulsating glow to a blinking signal of doom. No mention of Morse code messages, unfortunately, but this is run by an Arduino chip -- which means programming malleability (read: near-limitless possibilities) should be built in. Just know that when you see the next Bond girl communicating with Daniel Craig via her haute tech outfit, we had the idea first. A closeup of the dress and processor awaits after the break.

Sexsim: prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex

I think you misunderstood the meaning there TikiTeko
Unless Uncontrol also used it in your understanding in which case you are having a nice private conversation I guess.

Androgynous, anorexic wears dress that reacts to the stuff we breathe out, to bring awareness to a discredited theory.

Rather have more Apple patent stories. The BS is a bit thinner.

Wouldn't you be too? They're making him wear a freakin' light-up dress!

What the fuck?
That is one disturbing picture.

Make one with LCD panels that turn off when exposed to CO2 and then we can all be turned on by it.

[Bratyr Posted Dec 22nd 2009 11:12AM]

@Bratyr (I mean LCD as in plastic that turns black, not an LCD monitor)

So are these the official robes for the cult of Al Gore?

[SirNoDroin Posted Dec 22nd 2009 11:34AM]

Also, I wonder how much CO2 is released when making that dress?

Since when did Chris Crocker become a model?

Isn't Diffus the plural of Dufus? Why would she wear a dress made by morons?

Or is it Dufi?
