Jan 24 2008I'm In Love With The Day-To-Night Solar Dress
Well we've posted unusual dresses (must watch if you haven't seen it before) and solar bikinis here in the past, and now there's a solar dress making its way down the runway.
The Day-For-Night dress is a modular, reconfigurable dress comprised of 448 white circuit boards (although the number changes as the dress can get longer or shorter). Each tile is designed in such a way as to accommodate a solar cell, a RGB LED, or a photocell, and jumper connectors (in the form of 0 Ohm resistors). A control board provides power, communicates with the tiles, and links to a computer via RF. The dress is completely modular both in terms of software and hardware.
To be honest I have no idea what that means because I didn't bother reading it. I just copied and pasted it there with the hope that it would make sense and answer any questions you may have. I apologize, but I've been preoccupied with staring at the picture. I think I'm in love with that model. She's just the way I like my women -- leggy, scantily clad, and faceless from the nose up. Yow Yow!! Did I really just yell that? You're damn right I did, and I meant it.
Day-for-Night solar dress turns on more than just light bulbs [dvice]

Ok so I'll attempt to make sense of that non-Spartan madness. It has 0 Ohm resistors...then why bother putting a resistor on if it won't actually "resist" anything; and if the jumper has anything to with it, why not include what the jumper does like 'two settings: 0 Ohm, and 100 Ohm' ?
"A control board provides power, communicates with the tiles, and links to a computer via RF." Power for what? What sort of communication? Will the dress lift up on command? So this dress is a little less advanced than my car alarm (both use radio frequencies), except my car alarm is useful (it shoots people when they look at my car wrong, and mauls them if they actually try something stupid (read: to steal the car).
I noticed "Each tile is designed in such a way as to accommodate a solar cell, a RGB LED, or a photocell" Um, so each tile can accommodate a solar cell, or an RGB LED, or a photocell, so you can have alternating RGB glowing tiles powered by the solar cells, or have a photo cell (w00t)....my question is: Why?
So basically it boils down to this: the dress was made for the sole purpose of exposing women...very well done.

well, if all the tiles were had RGB LEDs, you could program the dress to change colors, or even better, to work as a billboard.

#4, lol. Nice pic. One can tell it's not the real deal, but it's funny anyway.

I was trying to fit "SMALL, REAL TITS" but her tits are too small and do not provide enough of a canvas.

If it charged her cell phone, she'd never take it off. Oops. Did I say that?
