Glasses that sense stress, belt that projects

For Paris Fashion Week, Intel has teamed up with fashion designer hussein Chalayan to create an outfit with a pair of stress-sensing glasses, and a belt that projects that data onto a wall.

The stress sensing glasses

The glasses are running on intel's Curie, a button-sized module designed as a low-power, versatile "brain" for wearable devices such as Chromat's dress and sports bra, which surfaced at last year's Made Fashion week . In this case , the smart specs determine the wearer's stress level by monitoring biometric data such as brainwave activity via in built EEG electrodes . There's also an optical heart rate sensor and a microphone that picks up breathing rate.

The Projector Belt

With Curie's built in Bluetooth LE , that data is sent to a connected device like a smart phone or, in this case a belt.Rather than watch your waist line like a Welt , this one uses an intel compute stick to process that information and present it visually. An embedded pico projector throws that live interpretation of a wearer's stress level up on a wall for all to see which sounds like a flair stressfull situation in itself. By focusing on calming themselves  down, the wearer is supposed to be able to change that imagery in real-time.

After Paris Fashion week wraps up, the collection will be on display from November at the "Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World" exhibition at the Design Museum in London.
