View Full Version : "Photonic" Clothes for you! (Phillips+Cosplay?)

Clothes that light up are not exclusive to Graal any more...mostly.

Phillips apparently decided to invent some 'photonic' tshirts and sofas for you to buy (at some point). If these things ever go full-garment or become customizable (which they should if it catches on) you could do some really sweet/authentic cosplaying with them.

It may be because it's dark but the edges of the light up bits are not as clean-line as PSU has them, but still, it's something you've probably not seen before.

While a bit gaudy/advertising-ish for now, there's lots of interesting and practical things that can be done.

Halloween costumes, bike at night, dance clubs, camping, night light, watch on your sleeve, etc.

So of course people with overdone cars will first apply this to their seats and ceilings because reason knows overdone cars do not have every -final- inch covered in something that glows already.

Still, it's cool to see something appear that hits so close to home with glowing clothes from PSU.
Pretty fun!

I find myself reminded of the coloring changing clothes from the early 90's, that were new and popular for a brief period, until everyone realized that heat-activated color change meant that the image of your man-boobs and beer gut were always on display for all to see.
