I was surprised they were talking about an industrial use for it. I would think this would also be a great accessibility feature.
Before being an accessibility product, the tech has to prove itself. I wouldn’t want to be the guinea pig for a product that could, if malfunctions, trap me in my jacket. But, yes, once proven, this would be an amazing application of the tech.
This plus those wearable battery things that recharge with movement could be super cool. Or just plug into a wheelchair battery or something.
Can they add a little speaker and have it play some smooth jazz when unzipping?
All my zippers play Careless Whisper
Zzzzzz bow chicka bow wow zzzzzzzzzzz bow chicka bow zzzzzzzzip
Remote control zipper porn, yes!
How did you get the beans above the frank?
Frank and beans!
Arrrgh!
That the article even suggested this is testament to modern tech stupidity. It was so close to saying that if they added AI to the zipper this wouldn’t happen. Anyone that uses this on a fly has what’s coming to them.
on the fly
hehe
Did we read the same article? The article was pretty open to the idea especially in the demonstrated environments. I also read nothing about AI…
I’m going to have to download an app to use my zippers, aren’t I?
Yes, and you need the subscription. There’s only a yearly plan.
A five year plan and the non replacable battery only lasts 3 years
At least I can unzip my pants remotely
“Your jacket is now dry!”
That tech was supposed to be ready 10 years ago. Come on, scientists, get your act together!
Great Scott, like a breeze of warm air.
PR Videos to save you a click:
Second video made some sense. Still, it’s really a niche application thing.
IDK, a zipper is pretty dangerous when I’m steering it, never mind full self driving.
Good heavens, a motorised zipper on my trousers that will get my amazing humongous dong out in the open when my hands are busy fondling the hordes of skimpily dressed women with questionable character.
I will buy this.I’m just imagining the situation where it triggers a little early, and skins you on the way back up.
Now you just need a gunpowder powered pulley system that whips your massive dong out of your fly after the motorized zipper opens your pants.
YKK exec; hey we’ve pretty much won the zipper market and quality brands default to us. But our social marketing teams says we need more presence in the news cycle, so how can we tank our reputation for clicks?"
YKK exec2; lets add AI to the zippers!
