If wearing Google Glass- a pair of smart glasses—on your face isn't cool enough, you might want to take a look at Nokia's new skirt. It's made of 80 mobile phones! It's believed to be the world's first smart skirt and has been shown at London Fashion (时装)Week. The smart skirt was created by the mobile phone company Nokia, fashion designer (设计师) Fyodor Golan and creative design house Kin.
It's not easy to make a smart skirt. It took three months to complete it. The biggest challenge in making the skirt was getting all of the mobile phones on the skirt, and allowing all the mobile phones to work together. The screens are all connected to a computer. As the skirt moves, the screens change color and the skirt looks like silk. That's not the only trick. The mobile phones are also connected to a hidden camera in the wearer's hat. The screens can show what the wearer is seeing.
Unsurprisingly, the skirt won't be making its way to shops. Instead, it's more of an art piece. Nokia said they wanted to find a way to connect the smart technology and fashion together. “We used drawings, 3D printing, and programming languages to 'build' the skirt, " explained Nokia.
