id be more excited for this if it wasnt adobe.. fuck adobe

[-] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

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

[-] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 106 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

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

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 85 points 1 year ago

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

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Kerrigor@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.

I will wait until the gimp version is released

[-] ansis@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Is it gold or blue I can't tell

[-] krayj@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

This article desperately needs video.

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

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] QHC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 5 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

[-] harry315@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

pretty impressive, especially these animations.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks... Been seeing the article but didn't even want to bother with reading about it.

The video is pretty damn cool though.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Still no pockets though.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago

you know you are talking to an engineer when they say

Non-emissive material with reflective light-diffuser modules

instead of "mirrors"

[-] huginn@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] leftzero@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You just haven't turned the current high enough.

[-] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

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

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Dry clean only of course

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

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@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] AnAngryAlpaca@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yea but top commentor wants full color OLED screen and I suppose would not say no to animations.

[-] Dope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m sure orchestrating this isn’t super easy (however, if you treat every “display” as a “pixel”, Idk how this coding is different than a woman wearing a dress made of addressable LEDs— on the surface it doesn’t seem super complicated engineering), but it appears as unimpressive.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nothing@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

And why do you want this?

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

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Because it’s awesome and also yes.

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

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Or the dress that Rorschach made his mask from.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Hey look its the prototype for Metal Gear Solid.

[-] Melt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A changeable dress won't matter, women will buy it, wear it to ONE event and then never wear it again

Women be shoppin - Abraham Lincoln

[-] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can it turn into the face of Nic Cage?

[-] reflex@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

They gonna release an ad-supported version to turn you into a walking billboard?
