The AwareFashion shirt has sleeves that glow in the proximity of switched-on mobile phones."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/stairs2b.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />OK I have a question here, other than has the world lost its mind. Wouldn't the shirt be lit up the whole time because of your own phone??

Not just that, but there are so many people with phones, it would be like wearing a stroble light. All things considered, I think this is pretty cool. I would love to see one in action. 8)

I strongly suspect an early April Fool's gag.

This is by no means an April Fool's gag! The project is on-going and further AwareFashion will be released soon at www.richardetter.net/awarefashion.php

The next clothes will be able to sense WLAN. We are currently discussing what type of clothing we will present next, it will be definitely for girls. Of course 'Smartphone Thoughts' will be informed in first place.

Cheers,
Richard
