Intimacy 2.0 

Fashion tech project by Studio Roosegaarde which clothes, made from e-foils, change their transparency levels based on the wearer’s heartbeat:

INTIMACY is a fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology. Its high-tech garments entitled ‘Intimacy White’ and ‘Intimacy Black’ are made out of opaque smart e-foils that become increasingly transparent based on close and personal encounters with people.

Social interactions determine the garmentsʼ level of transparency, creating a sensual play of disclosure.

INTIMACY 2.0 features Studio Roosegaardeʼs new, wearable dresses composed of leather and smart e-foils which are daringly perfect to wear on the red carpet. In response to the heartbeat of each person, INTIMACY 2.0 becomes more or less transparent.

Currently Studio Roosegaarde is selecting haute couture designers to develop the next INTIMACY fashion line for men and women. 

Here is a video demo of the work:
