Fashion statement meets technology in a Necomimi

Necomimi is a cute pair of kitty ears paired with a neuron sensor on the forehead to sense brain wave activity and depending on that activity, the ears respond in one of three ways...they perk up if you are focused, wiggle up and down when you are happy and droop when you are relaxed.

While they are adorable, due to the technology the price tag is a steep at nearly $100.  Instructable's user abetusk  has contructed  a similar looking pair for around half the cost and posted the tutorial here.

Fairytale Fashion

The marriage of fiber and electronics into mythical creations by Fairytale Fashion is superb and would make great performance and theatrical pieces - I can picture many of them in a Lady GaGa video.  Even better, their creation is part used a teaching tools in tech areas through fashion.

FairytaleFashion.org  was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center (a nonprofit organization) as an educational tool to teach science, math, and technology through fashion.  For more information check out their website at Fairytale Fashion and also the behind the scenes article over at Craftzine.
