Jesus! A mobile phone built inside a dress. Now that just makes me go wow!
Well, given the speed with which the technology is advancing in today's world, one had to expect this. But still, the mere fact of a thing such as this becoming a reality is wonderful in itself.
"The M-Dress is an elegant silk jersey dress that is also a functional soft electronics mobile phone. The M-Dress accepts a standard SIM card and allows the wearer to receive and make calls without carrying a cellular phone in their pocket or purse."
This sexy-looking 'sleek' black cocktail dress, the brainchild of fashion designer Francesca Rosella, and anthropologist Ryan Genz, uses a "special gesture recognition software to allow the M-Dress to work in an easy and intuitive way. The wearer inserts their usual SIM card in the small slot underneath the label and the dress is ready to be used, having the same phone number as your usual phone. When the dress rings, the simple gesture of bringing your hand to the ear will allow the sensor to open the call and when done talking the gesture of releasing the hand downwards will close the call."
The hem of the dress discreetly hides the antenna. There is no keypad or screen, so there's no way to see who is calling. A single phone number is programmed to the dress for outgoing calls.
M-Dress will be part of CuteCircuit's first commercial line launching at London's Selfridges department store this October.
