Something super interesting I came across the other day. This 3D-printed garment reacts to anyone that's looking, thanks to a built-in camera and some facial tracking algorithms. Architect and designer Behnaz Farahi designed this top out of plastic, monochromatic spikes. With the help of motors the spikes can undulate depending on what the camera picks up... and where you're looking. The project is the latest 3D-printed collaboration between Farahi, Pier 9 and Autodesk.
It looks pretty creepy which makes you want to stare at it even more. A cool example of how 3D printing and other technologies can be applied to a completely unexpected field.
