Canadian Company Creates Electronic Bikini

solestrom-smartswim-bikini.jpgFashion only occasionally intersects with our work here at Digital World -- digital gear is usually too bulky or too dorky to wear -- but that doesn't seem to be the case with Ottawa-based Solestrom's shiny $190 bikini. The SmartSwim UV Meter Bikini's "smart fabric" is connected to an LCD display, which tells you if you've been out in the sun too long.

I suppose you could just use a handheld device instead, but where's the fun in that?

You know what would this bikini hip? Pressing the silver button near the LCD display, and the bikini disappears.

That would be a sensitive area to develope a electronic short.
