| Probes; SKIN dresses |
 |
Philips Design has developed a series of
dynamic garments as part of the ongoing SKIN
exploration research into the area known as
'emotional sensing'. The garments, which are
intended for demonstration purposes only,
demonstrate how electronics can be
incorporated into fabrics and garments in
order to express the emotions and personality
of the wearer.
The marvelously intricate wearable prototypes
include 'Bubelle', a dress surrounded by a
delicate 'bubble' illuminated by patterns
that changed dependent on skin contact- and
'Frison', a body suit that reacts to being
blown on by igniting a private constellation
of tiny LEDs

| Stop pushing for CBI probes: Centre |
 |
Aarushi and Hemraj's murder was the latest
case handed over to the CBI by a state
government but NDTV has learnt that the
Centre now wants states to stop publically
talking about transferring cases to the CBI
especially since many cases don't actually
make it to the investigating agency. CBI
sleuths are the country's premier
investigators but for some time, they have
become the most wanted, especially among
politicians.
