Strange new clothing, tells your mood...

Threatened animals often display obvious physical warnings; e.g. porcupines or puffer fish both erect their spines as a physical defence and a visual warning, snakes rattle their tales or expand their body, chamelions change colour... But humans have more subtle and complex social, contextual, gestural, and verbal warning signs.



The prototype design is a coat with warning strips of fur that become electro-statically charged in situations where the wearer feels threatened. When charged the fur begins to stand on end; a visual indication that the wearer is uncomfortable. If someone invades the wearer's personal space they will begin to feel a second warning; as they enter the coat's electrostatic field they will feel tingling skin sensations and their hair will stand on end. The fur will begin to twitch toward them and emit crackling sounds. If the 'threat' proceeds to touch the fur then 100,000 volts of electro-static charge discharges from the fur, into the offenderís body (non-lethal but definitely a bite).

Oooo!!! I like this idea!! Of course, mine would always be in the "get away from me" mode.

This sounds like a good winter coat for Disneyland. It would work out well for the times that I can feel and hear the breath of a stranger behind me in a queue.
