HackathoN

Our Hackathon dress incorporates conductive fabric at the neckline and cuffs in the shape of leaves that, when touched together, connect a circuit that sends a text message to a predetermined phone number.  The goal of the dress was to change the way we communicate socially, and allow people to send messages with simple, subtle gestures. Situations for which we designed this dress include dates, going out to bars, or for wear everyday.  Our hope is that this type of garment could be used for people with social anxiety, as well as for anyone in any social situation.
