Anouk Wipprecht and Philip Wilck’s 3-D-printed Spider Dress 2.0 uses sensors attuned to biosignals to defend the wearer’s personal space. Should the sensors detect a body approaching, spindly arms will either extend in defense or retract to allow greeting (based on unconscious factors such as the approaching body’s speed and the wearer’s rate of breath).
