    “Interactive clothes” sounds awesome to me.

    a garment made of conductive fibres that track heart rate and breathing and feed that data into an AI algorithm that detects when a person is anxious and triggers a mechanism that causes the garment to tighten and give the feeling of a comforting hug.

    Does not.

      In addition to all the tracking data. That sounds kinda awful. A clothing item that suddenly starts to constrict me during a time when I’m supposed to be anxious.

      Though yeah, when looking at it from a hopeful perspective it might have uses and benefits, but I’d still prefer basic old cheap dumb clothes.
