You get the dress but have to subscribe to Dress Cloud for $50/mo and if you decide to discontinue it the dress randomly turns into a 90s era WB shirt and locks itself that way until you re-up

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

If you subscribe for a whole year it only costs 599$ !

[–] [email protected] 109 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adobe: Pay $1699 yearly subscription or it will go transparent.

[–] Agent641 41 points 1 year ago

Me, hacking Adobe and cancelling all subscriptions during the oscars: "You're welcome"

[–] CatZoomies 95 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s a cute dress. If I pirate it, will I get a Creative Cloud warning pop up when it dials home?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How can I cancel her subscription?

Just update your host file so it can't connect to adobe.com

"Hurry up, we're gonna be late for our reservation."

"Hold on, my dress has to install an update!"

This article desperately needs video.

Here's the official video from Adobe. Bump to 45s into the vid to see the dress in action:

Honestly lol what kind of absurd article doesn't include the video

[–] QHC 7 points 1 year ago

That video is included in the article, it's just at the very bottom for some reason.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

you know you are talking to an engineer when they say

Non-emissive material with reflective light-diffuser modules

instead of "mirrors"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe most mirrors can't turn their reflectivity on and off based on an electric current.

I could be totally wrong about mirrors though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You just haven't turned the current high enough.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 21 points 1 year ago

Still no pockets though.

[–] CuddlyCassowary 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you can totally just throw it in the washing machine, right?

[–] evidences 13 points 1 year ago

Dry clean only of course

[–] Gregorech 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's like the dress Rorschach made his mask from in Watchmen.

OMG she's wearing the same dress she wore last week! She just changed the design!

[–] Dope 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some reason I’m not super impressed with this. Looks too much like you’re wearing e-ink panels. Call me when these are fully functioning OLEDs that kinetically charge when you walk.

[–] just_another_person 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Each one of those scales operates as an independent display, and coordinating them is quite a challenge. I'd be interested in knowing what is driving them, because it's surely not very portable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Powerbank backpack lol I guess you could go pretty small with hardware in these ARM days comming

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

EInk and monochrome LCD Type Displays need very low power, because you only need a tiny bit to switch them from one side to the other, but none to keep it black or white.

And why do you want this?

Or was this a "We can build it so we did"?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it’s awesome and also yes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I miss when everyone wasn't super pessimistic about absolutely everything and it was ok to do things for these reasons

Reminds me of the book The Diamond Age, where the clothes used nanotech to transform and become waterproof etc.
