I've been researching kinetic structures and mechanisms lately and I stumbled upon the above video of Kerry Jia Yi Lin's kinetic dress. I had seen this project before but never in live action. It's great to see the garment's movement in relation to the human body.

The garment essentially is a barometer for the wearer's stress levels. It uses a heart rate sensor to trigger movement of the dress.

The project is wonderfully documented at Lin's site so please check it out for more detail.

very interesting. So it is different to the memory alloy based shape changing dress. Wonder if there is some electricity generating dress?
