Tennis ace Sharapova unveils blinking phone dress
温布尔登网球赛开幕前,网球美女莎拉波娃忙里偷闲,走进伦敦著名的一家奢侈品百货店为路人展示一种高科技服装。这款及膝白色裙装的特别之处在于设计师通过蓝牙无线技术将衣服一部分与主人的手机连接在一起。当主人的手机有来电时,衣服与手机连接的部分就会发光,这样一来,无论处于何种嘈杂的环境,衣服的主人都不会错过来电了。

Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova presented a prototype dress to reporters that is designed to light up when the wearer's mobile telephone rings.
British fashion student Georgie Davies dreamed up the knee-length short-sleeved white dress as part of a school project with mobile phone-maker Sony Ericsson to figure out ways of incorporating new technology into fashion.
Davies said the dress is designed to eventually be connected to the wearer's phone by Bluetooth wireless technology, so she can be alerted to a call even in noisiest of places.
"When you're in a pub or a bar, you can never, ever hear your phone," 20-year-old Davies told Reuters on Wednesday.
One shoulder of the dress down to the hip is embellished with translucent white scales that move and light up.
Sharapova showed off the dress to a gaggle of photographers and a crowd of passers-by from the window of a luxury department store in central London.
