A Bicycle Jacket That Lights Up When Vehicles Get Too Close

[Click here to view the video in this article]







To help female cyclists feel safer on the roads, London-based designer Will Verity created a lightweight bicycle jacket that lights up when cars and buses get too close to the user.



The back of the jacket contains sensors that send intermittent flashes via LED lights when it detects that vehicles are fast approaching.



This allows both the user and drivers to be cautious as they move on the roads.



With his redesigned bicycle jacket, Verity said that he aims to make drivers view cyclists as people, and not "obstacles" on the road.



Take a look at the bike jacket below.

Drones Imitate Humans By Taking Funny Mirror Selfies

Italian artist group IOCOSE’s recent work with drones feels like a witty stab at today’s selfie-obsessed culture.



In their project ‘Drone Selfies’, IOCOSE made a group of drones photograph themselves in front of a mirror, almost imitating humans that hog mirrors for their selfies.



IOCOSE told The Creator’s Project that their project mirrors today’s selfie culture as their drones are “presenting their own images, taking photos to create and promote their public image.”



Take a look at their work below.
