3D打印的智能连衣裙的可以保护人的亲近空间和个人空间，几年前，Anouk Wipprecht首次使用她的Spider Dress进行了研究。当在佩戴者的周围环境中发现有人时，连衣裙会形成物理障碍来阻隔人群。
The concept of a mechanical, 3D printed smart dress, to safeguard one’s proximity and personal space, was first explored by Anouk Wipprecht several years ago with her Spider Dress. In times of social distancing, the Dutch designers is presenting an evolution of that early work, extending her research into proxemics and the body. The new Proximity Dress creates physical barriers when a person is detected in the immediate surroundings of the wearer.
连衣裙基于热传感器做出响应，并指示穿着者周围私密空间人。每件衣服都使用内置在衣服中的自动3D打印装置和带有集成传感器的树脂3D打印透明衣领来延伸。该连衣裙还可以作为3D打印的理想应用案例研究。使用SLS（选择性激光烧结）尼龙PA-11 3D打印将伺服器固定在机械髋部上，以承受更大的压力。通过使用Objet Connex 500多材料polyjet 3D打印机和Stratasys的VeroClear材料进行3D打印，从而使3D打印的透明项圈更加美观。
These twin dresses respond based on proximity and thermal sensors and indicate strangers within the intimate, personal, social and public space around the wearer. Each dress extends itself using a robotic 3D printed hip mechanism, built into the dress, and a resin 3D printed transparent collar with integrated sensors. The dress also works as a perfect application case study for 3D printing. The hip mechanisms that are holding the servos to the mechanic hip parts are 3D printed using SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) nylon PA-11 to endure more stresses. The 3D printed transparent collar, which has a more aesthetic use, is 3D printed using an Objet Connex 500 multimaterial polyjet 3D printer and the VeroClear material from Stratasys.
她说道：“就像我以前的机器人蜘蛛连衣裙和烟熏连衣裙一样，我的设计基于爱德华·T·霍尔的近邻理论。在身体周围定义了四个空间，每个空间都有各自的特征距离。Hall必须使用木棍来测量人与人之间的空间，但自2007年以来，我一直在努力将这些概念转换为数字领域，以测量25英尺范围内的人与人之间的空间。”
“As with my earlier robotic Spider Dress and Smoke Dress,” she went on, “my designs are based on the Proxemics Theory of Edward T. Hall. This defines four spaces around the body, each with their own characteristic distances. Whereas Hall had to measure the space between people using a wooden stick, I have been working since 2007 to translate these concepts into the digital domain, in order to measure the spaces between people up to a range of 25 feet.”
传感器通过结合使用高输出声功率，连续可变增益，实时背景自动校准，实时波形签名分析和噪声抑制算法，提供了几乎无噪声的距离读数。即使在存在各种声或电噪声源的情况下也是如此，使其适合于人体使用。
The sensors provide virtually noise-free distance readings through the use of high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms. This holds true even in the presence of various acoustic or electrical noise sources, making it suitable for on-body use.
使用此类传感器可以使这些礼服隐蔽地追踪周围的世界，并且不会威胁到隐私，因为它们不会记录任何视频图像：穿着者周围的人保持匿名。
Using such sensors allows the dresses to trace the world around them invisibly, and do not threaten privacy, as they do not record any video imagery: the people around the wearer remain anonymous.
