A forward-thinking Chinese fashion designer has used complex sensory technology to create a dress that moves, changes shape and even lights up when it is looked at.

Montreal-based designer Ying Gao installed her high-fashion creations with eye-tracking technology so that they activate when they sense someone’s gaze.

Gao’s loose white and ivory shift dresses are made from shredded and ruched super-organza- the world’s lightest fabric.

They are sewn with photoluminescent thread and contain tiny eye-tracking electronic devices.

The gaze-activated dresses have small motors sewn into them that can move parts of the dress and make them change shape.

Sensory technology is used to transform the garments from pale, ethereal dresses into luminescent art works that resemble jellyfish.
