Mood in 2026 made me first think what horrors will be wrought by this trchnology
The unhoused will be used as billboards for Polymarket.
any time an audience shot is shown on a broadcast people get micropayments for the continuously auctioned advertisements on their clothing
More like “you agree to EULA that allows corporations to display advertisements for free by buying the garment”.
don’t know why I restricted this to the audience, imagine a panel show or news broadcast where everyone on camera has clothing with continuously auctioned ads
“Want cash? Wear our garment and be a billboard for our company!”
*cash is almost never paid, because the garment will have technology to track whether it is being worn or not, where it is being worn, and how many people are around the person wearing it; so the company will always state that you weren’t exposing their brand to a large enough audience to merit payment
It will also later be discovered that the technology was either insanely invasive beyond the stated invasiveness above, or it literally just does not work and they were lying the entire time
FINALLY we’re getting some cool cyberpunk fashion to match the cyberpunk dystopia we live in
Does anyone remember Project Jacquard? Killed google project that put a touch interface into a jacket maybe 10-15 years ago. I thought that had the potential to be useful. I question what utility adding a display even has.
Wonder how close we are to some true optical camouflage or something close to it. My immediate thought was adaptive camo.
For a touchscreen? Surely wearable tech would be the first thing.
