Because, apparently, that is now a thing.\\n\\nTwo New York University students, Pedro Oliveira and Xuedi Che, designed the dress as part of NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program and they're calling it [X.Pose](https://www.behance.net/gallery/17256769/xpose)\u2014very clever, guys. It's made made of flexible, 3D-printed mesh and a layer of reactive displays who are powered by (what else?) your smartphone. And, get this: it has different sections that become *less* opaque depending on whether you're posting on Facebook or Twitter. No word on whether more sections for Instagram, Pinterest, Foursquare, etc. will eventually be built in, but let's just say I know some people who would be completely see through, like, ALL THE TIME.\\n\\nBut lest you think this is some sort of salacious attempt at social media-driven peep show, fear not: It turns out that Oliveira and Che have much a more meta motivation. The dress' tagline is \\\"In the digital realm, we are naked all the time.\\\" So, X.Pose is basically a commentary on how we're all willing to bare our deepest darkest secrets (or, you know, post #belfies) online, but wouldn't normally be caught dead naked IRL. And if even just the idea of this dress makes people a little more accepting of showing some skin, that's something I can totally get behind. (Then again, I have tried naked yoga.)\\n\\n__RELATED:__\\n\\n- [This Rug Doubles as an Interactive Yoga Mat](http://www.self.com/flash/fitness-blog/2014/06/tera-yoga-mat-beautiful-rug/)\\n- [You Can Print Makeup Now](www.self.com/flash/beauty-blog/2014/05/beauty-mink-3d-makeup-printer/)\\n\\nImage Credit: *Courtesy of XPose*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
