This past week at New York Fashion Week, design collective Sensoree showed off NEUROTiQ. Sensoree tries to create things that push intimacy outward, “extimacy.” The rather odd looking headpiece is designed to change colors based on your state of mind. For example, red indicates sleep and orange signals calm. The core structure of the piece is knitted and the spheres are 3D printed. The colors are driven by a consumer level EEG sensor with 14 different contact points. All told, the headpiece took over 130 hours to create. While it is more than likely you will never own or see a headpiece like this, the technology driving it is what is truly being shown off. The $400 Emotive Epoc EEG sensor is controlling NEUROTiQ’s mind-reading wizardry and it is able to accomplish this without shaving a model’s head to place the electrodes.
