Light-Up Psychedelic Clothes Designed To Freak Out Squares And Protect Cyclists

The Superheroe is the brainchild of Wolfgang Langeder, CEO and designer of Utope clothing, working in conjunction with the stretchable circuits division of Fraunhofer IZM.

It can even sync with a smartphone and display a special pattern whenever there’s an incoming call.
