In William Gibson's pioneering cyberpunk novel "Neuromancer," outlaw hacktivists use stealth suits of "mimetic polycarbon" to evade the ubiquitous surveillance technology of the future. It's one of the coolest ideas in a book jammed with oddly prophetic details.That future is now, evidently. The CHBL Jammer Coat is the latest in a string of stealth clothing, wearables and devices designed to fight back against tracking and snooping.
The Jammer Coat may look like a Hogwarts robe, but it's actually more like a wearable Faraday cage that blocks electromagnetic waves. The idea is to keep your smartphone, tablet or other mobile devices safe from electronic spying when you're on the move. Developed by Austrian design firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, the coat has built-in pockets for multiple handheld devices.
I am sure that this will be a big hit during the Dubai Fashion Week.
