Scientifically Designed 'Butterfly Dress' Reveals What You Feel

You are at a party. And you are hoping to make an impression on the person who has just caught your eye. Unfortunately the butterflies in your stomach prevents you from speaking up. And people pass on wondering if you are a snob who doesn't believe in socializing. All you needed at that moment was an ice-breaker to open up a conversation.

The next time you attend a party, wear a Butterfly dress that's designed by Alex Reeder, a grad student at NYU. This dress can convey your feelings to the people around you. The Butterfly dress is aware of what's happening around the wearer and also knows the heartbeat of the wearer. Using the data the butterfly starts to flap its wings. It also rises to greet the person who approaches. A fashionable ice-breaker isn't it?

The dress that's made of white fabric houses the electronics and motor system.A switch is present for the wearer to easily turn the dress on and off. Once it is turned on the heartbeat of the wearer is monitored and eight IR sensors are used to track people moving around the wearer. As people approach the wearer, butterflies extend from the dress to surround her, and offer a friendly greeting.

Technology meets fashion in a beautiful way.Neither form nor function dominate in this creation. Each complement each other to create a beauty. The dress itself is light and does not sacrifice form for function. The battery and butterflies are removable, making the dress washable - essential for wearability.

This fantastic dress that combines fashion and technology also makes a cool philosophical statement about the way we interact with the world around us.
