Dress for success isn't just a saying anymore. Scanning your rock band t-shirt might bring up videos of a concert you attended. Embedded NFTs can prove you own a limited run clothing item. A special sweater can shield your identity from facial recognition cameras.
Clothing that can speak to our devices, known as e-textiles, is growing at an exponential rate, according to the latest data.
That doesn’t surprise Ashley Kubley, associate professor of fashion design at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP).
"A lot of this is happening in the classroom as we embed more educational content around digital pattern making, avatar creation, for our students in the fashion area in order to prepare them for an industry where people are going to be fitting their garments based off of a body-scanned avatar," says Kubley.

She points to the good and the bad. On the positive side is more inclusive sizing for people who might have a different body type or a different ability level. Kubley says facial recognition is collecting and remembering a lot of detailed information."...

Would be interesting in seeing the math behind the claim (not that they would show it because it's the secret sauce that makes it work and if known would lead to easy knockoffs) because there are multiple algorithms that differing facial recognition systems use. What works on one algorithm won't necessarily work on a different one.
Sounds promising though.
