Eddy and I presented on the HP stage at Adobe Max.
The Little Black Dress was a concept I had formulating in my mind for a couple years while working at Digimarc. The technology enables a digitally connect experience. We had been applying it to packaging. I wanted to bring it into fabrics… it felt like kind of a dead end without a lot of use cases. BUT THEN IT HAPPENED! It hit me, it’s so much more than a consumer experience! Enabling fabrics and patches could allow tracking through out supply chains to improve inefficiencies. It could also be used as a way to authenticate a designer garment. Whole communities could be built around the connected dress. I had the privilege to partner up with Edward Harber/ Fashion Designer, HP and Adobe to create two seemingly identical “little black dresses”, but when you scan them with a mobile devise, they carry two different codes.
