Check out this great teaser for a 3D printed spider dress with servo motor controlled mandibles that extend based on proximity sensors. It is driven by an intel edison processor and is both creepy and amazing at the same time. Here is some text about the dress from the designer: Aptly called the Spider Dress, this piece of wearable tech features animatronic mechanical limbs that respond to external stimuli [to] defend the personal space of the wearer. The dress provides an extension of the wearers intuition: It uses proximity sensors as well as a respiration sensor to both define and protecting the personal space of the wearer. Approach the wearer to aggressively and the mechanical limbs move up to an attack position. Approach the system under calmer circumstance and the dress just might beckon you to come closer with smooth, suggestive gestures.
