Dress Makes it Possible to Wear your Heart on your Sleeve

"How you doing?" may soon be rendered useless. Philips,the company that makes stereos and super complicated remotes, has developed a fabric that monitors your body temperature and sweat levels and determines the mood your in. Different colored light and patterns then appear on the dress to express yourself.

Ingrid Bal from Philip's Design said: "You could programme the material so that it turned red if you were angry or stressed, or green when you're calm."

...Scientists at the Dutch firm have also designed emotion-sensitive electronic tattoos as part of their design project.

A spokeswoman said: "In much the same way as make-up is put on and taken off to suit the occasion, a tattoo could alter whenever desired.

"The tattoos could even change in response to gestures or emotions."

I personally like being passive aggressive and not letting people know that I'm pissed. This tech would be way more useful for the elderly. It could be used to monitor and alert caretakers to changes in body temp that could lead to problems.
