What Kind of Clothes Would You Wear If You Had Four Extra Arms? Thinking About Body Augmentation from a Fashion Perspective (Professor Masahiko Inami, University of Tokyo)
There are countless items that we wear as 'fashion'. Clothes, shoes, glasses, accessories like rings and hats, and of course, makeup is just as important. Recently, more people are also focusing on devices like smartwatches.
So, what is the future of fashion that lies ahead? Can smart glasses become a fashionable accessory like ordinary glasses? What about VR goggles? What if we could attach robots to our bodies and increase the number of our limbs? The shape of the bodies wearing clothes would change completely.
Actually, at the University of Tokyo, there's a project challenging these novel ideas: the 'Inami Jizai-Body Project'. As a specialist in body augmentation through technology, they are researching the impact of advanced wearable devices and robots on human beings. In this article, we interviewed Professor Masahiko Inami, who leads the project at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology of the University of Tokyo. We discussed the "near-future fashion", which nobody has defined yet.
