        TIL. I hadn’t looked up that word before, just assumed it meant ‘new liberal’ in the USA liberal vs conservative sense, when really it seems to mean virtually the opposite of what liberal means here.

          Not really. The trick in the US system is that both parties are neoliberal, so there actually isn’t a choice. They just differ in social aspects (neoliberalism is purely about economy).

          The opposite of a neoliberal within a democratic framework would more or less be a social democrat (like Bernie Sanders).

    What happens when adobe decides to stop supporting this? Are you left with useless waste?

        $69.99/month. $49.99 for every design change.

        $999.99 for a 2 year warranty. Only Adobe Technicians can service it.

        Why does this need to be subscription based? In what way does clothing that changes color or pattern or whatnot need to be connected to Adobe’s severs?

      When you miss a payment in your subscription, it will randomly turn transparent while you’re out and about.

      I have no issue against Indians, but these indian CEOs are absolute cunts and making us hate corporates even more ( Google, Microsoft, Adobe etc just to name a few)

        That has absolutely 0% to do with their nationality and 100% to do with with them being general cunts.

      If it makes money to someone, fuck the planet. We all know how capitalism works at this point.

    *while standing.

    Imagine sitting down with this and it not breaking to pieces. Also, the power pack and whatever the compute module is also back there, and definitely not small.

      Power and compute unit is rather trivial problem to solve, I suppose it’s big as it’s on a prototype state. But that looks more like a scale mail apron with e-ink displays than a fabric you could actually use as a clothing. Neat tech demo, but that’s pretty much it.

          There’s also 30 second clip showing how the thing is built and it is pretty much scale mail -style pieces with an single pixel e-ink style display (apparently that’s not really e-ink, but something similar). That’s not something I would call ‘fabric’. Embedding electronics to clothing isn’t a new idea and it has been done by hobbyists and professionals over and over again with different solutions, this is just one more.

          I don’t doubt her claim, she sewed the dress and the components on top of it, but that’s still not something I would call ‘dynamic clothing’. If I hot glue an E-ink display on my baseball cap and mount batteries + arduino on it would that be dynamic clothing? With some definition, maybe, but in my opinion the story claims to be a bit more than that.

    Just in time for Halloween. Let’s all get this dress, make Rorschach masks and terrorize CEOs.

    Not very practical. How do you clean this thing? One drunk white girl night and that thing is headed to the landfill
