Though not as hot as we'll be if global warming gets its way, unless more people pay attention to eco-friendly inventions like this.

Dozens of LEDs sprinkled across this dress concept light up, and actually blink faster when the microprocessor and carbon dioxide detection unit (hidden in the dress bustle, I presume) recognizes pollution in the air. No, they don't make underwear versions, though I'm sure some of the men reading this could do with their "air pollution" being monitored. [Diffus via The Coolist]

<![CDATA[Japanese Anti-Flu Suit Lets You Get Sneezed On With Impunity]]> A Japanese company called Haruyama Trading Co. has developed a suit that supposedly protects the wearer from the H1N1 hysteria virus. Finally!

It does this by being coated with titanium dioxide, which apparently reacts to light and kills the virus when it comes in contact with it. Unfortunately, you don't get the flu through your torso, you get it through your mucus membranes such as your nose and mouth. And unless you plan on wearing the suit jacket over your face, I'm not sure how much good it'll do you.

But hey, at least it'll give you peace of mind, right? And when we're battling a flu strain that appears to be just about as dangerous as the normal flu, but from goddamned pigs, we've got to take extreme measures. [Telegraph]

<![CDATA[Lego Baseplate Shirt May Be the Dorkiest Shirt Ever Made]]> Now, I can admit a fondness for Lego. They're probably the greatest toy ever made. But wearing a Lego construction on your chest? That might be a bit much.

The Brick Construction Shirt from ThinkGeek features a big ol' baseplate on the chest. That means you can build whatever you want—your name in bricks, a TIE Fighter, a busy castle scene, whatever—and then wear it around. How uncomfortable sounding!

But hey, at least it's better than those Ed Hardy shirts. [ThinkGeek]

<![CDATA[2UNFOLD Laptop Bag Is Probably Too Attractive for You or Your Computer]]> Your MacBook Air or whatever is a sharp machine, sure. But it's not timeless, handcrafted Italian leather that's transformable into one of eight different styles.

The 2UNFOLD laptop works as an urban briefcase, shoulder bag, safecase, rucksack, leather courier, canvas courier (it's reversible!), leather clutch or canvas clutch. No, I don't know what all those variations mean either, but the link at the end of this post contains handy photographs.

In vertical modes, the 2UNFOLD holds laptops up to 17 inches. In horizontal modes, it's suited for 13-inch notebooks. But either way, it makes for a zippy, pockety, and stylish bag that's a bit too beautiful for us to toss haphazardly onto the airport floor. $483.

(Sorry if that price part stings a bit.) [2UNFOLD via bbGadgets]

<![CDATA[Buy the Hat from Back to the Future: Part II]]> You've seen the shoes and you've scored the jacket. But what about the most garish garment of Marty McFly's 2015 ensemble, his eye-straining, iridescent hat? Yes, now even that masterpiece is for sale.

While actually shipping July 15th, the Marty MacFly 2015 Hat Replica is available for pre-order today for the low, low price of $25. But not only does the hat's rainbow styling give you a taste of fashion to come, its one-size-fits-all design is outfitted with Velcro—the space-age fastening technology that's normally so rare and expensive that only Payless shoe stores can afford to fly in available stock from Jupiter.

Living in the future is the best, isn't it? [Amazon via ChipChick]

<![CDATA[Philips Emotion Jacket Touches You In Movie Theaters]]> End of Titanic. Rose floating on debris, Jack in the water. You want to cry but can't. Philips' new concept jacket gives you a little hug (out of sympathy? pity?) and there go the waterworks.

Philips senior scientist Paul Lemmens and a team of researchers have devised a jacket—but sorry dudes, no matching pants—that augments your emotions with gentle nudges, squeezes and taps. The point? To cause "a shiver to go up the viewer's spine and creating the feeling of tension in the limbs," Lemmens told IEEE Spectrum, on the eve of the World Haptics Conference where he's presenting the jacket.

Lemmens says that during a Bruce Lee fight scene, the jacket can pulse with the gu-goong gu-goong gu-goong of an elevated heartbeat. (All good, until you remember that Bruce Lee's heart rate never went above 42 beats per minute his whole life.)

The jacket's versatile fondling techniques come from 64 actuators, clustered in groups of four along different parts of the torso and arms—eight in each sleeve, for instance. They are low-powered enough to be run on two AA batteries for an hour, but hopefully they'll make room for more batteries, since the average movie is over 2 hours, including trailers. The signals to pinch your arm, tighten your chest, or sooth your back would come from the film itself, kinda like how those D-Box motion chairs follow pre-determined cues that are synced with the action on the screen.

I'm willing to buy into the argument that a little more physical interaction would heighten my emotional appreciation of a movie, but I just can't help feeling it's the premise of a corny but terrifying episode of The Outer Limits? [IEEE Spectrum]

<![CDATA[Pac-Man Calls the Ghostbusters, Again]]> Two weeks ago, we spotted a t-shirt in which Pac-Man decided to use Ghostbusters technology to spook those ghosts once and for all. Today, he does it again.

Available at Busted Tees for $17, Ghost Catcher explores the lengths that a gluttonous and brutal carnivore will go to for a snack of psychokinetic energy. I have no idea what's caused the sudden surge in Pac-Man/Ghostbusters crossbranded apparel, but you know what? I couldn't trace the impetus of putting peanut butter and jelly together for the first time, either. Let's just roll with it, see where these shirts take us. [Busted Tees via Fashionably Geek]

<![CDATA[Sun Dry Swim Bathing Suits Use Nanotech to Dry Off in Seconds]]> Sun Dry Swim makes bathing suits that dry off in seconds. Using a special nanotechnology treatment, water moves right through and off the fabric, drying off with no towel required.

Apparently, the fancy suits are also resistant to fading from UV rays, act as a sun repellant and aren't harmful to your skin, which is an important aspect of any piece of clothing. You'll pay dearly for the suits, however, with a men's suit or bikini running you $80 and a woman's one-piece costing $90. But hey, I guess you'll save money on towels, right? [Sun Dry Swim]
