'Billboards' that walk, talk, and even flirt a little

By Clayton Collins | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

Just think Teletubbies - with a hint of Hooters. Eleven-inch, flat television screens adorn the fronts of T-shirts worn by winsome women deployed to be, in the words of the product's developer, "aggressively friendly."
The programming? Why, a marketing message, of course. [continued]

I'll go one more step: How about chamelion-like, or programmable clothing capable of graphical displays? What would we be programming?

I think this idea will evolve into a thing. Not sure what kind of thing though...

I'm thinking Victoria's Secret runway models can make this idea go somewhere.
 
On Saturday nite, I saw this dude wearing a shirt with what looked like an equaliser on it which moved to the beat of the music. It looked really cool!
 
Sweet, another excuse for looking a women's chests! :biggrin:
 
:wink: Not really on-topic, but the tennis player Chris Evert used to wear a tee shirt that said I MAY NOT BE PERFECT... BUT PARTS OF ME ARE EXCELLENT.
 
Hey, quit staring at my chest! Oh, great, a FLAT screen, just what I need on my chest. Can I get the flat screen for my stomach instead, one that displays images of some really well-toned abs?
