If you’re sick of the trend of everyone calling everything “smart” and cramming pointless technology into every aspect of everyday life, it’s probably best to look away now. For those of you still here, you’ll probably consider yourself part of that first group by the time you’re done reading about this wild and possibly goofy new apparel design concept that covers your clothing in data. It starts with an app called Coded Couture which utilizes Google’s Awareness API to log data about your lifestyle and then turns that information into patterns for clothing — in this case, a “Data_Dress.” The user selects what occasion they need the dress for, and the style they’re shooting for, at which point the app tracks things like your workout habits, what places you visit, and your overall routine. It then uses that data to pick out accents and accessories, and uses GPS data to craft a unique pattern.
