It seems despite our efforts to stop this crazy phenomena, the world is
rather hard at work to make this trend a normal part of our lives.
Ghanaians and people from other parts of Africa have already started
following this trend which can only mean that the trend has officially
gone global.
Forget smart watches; this item gives a whole new meaning to “wearable tech.”

The Daily Dot reports there is now a couture dress that is so tech-savvy it can detect when you’re turned on. When you are, the dress
becomes transparent. It’s called INTIMACY 2.0 (in caps), and it comes
from Studio Roosegaarde, a ”social design lab for interactive art,
fashion, and architecture” based in China and the Netherlands.
According to the project description on its website, the garment is
intended to “explore the relationship between intimacy and technology.”
The dresses come in two models:
‘Intimacy White’ and ‘Intimacy Black,’ and they’re made out of “opaque
smart e-foils that become increasingly transparent based on close and
personal encounters with people.”
The INTIMACY 2.0 dress becomes more or less transparent depending on the heartbeat of the person wearing it.
The company website insists the gowns are perfect for the red carpet,
but it seems more of an “in-the-bedroom” outfit, all considering.
Below is a G-rated look at the dress.
