Lifting the veil using Bluetooth…

By gypsy gal

Can a burqa be sexy? A Berlin-based artist has invented a digitally-enabled robe that will send an image of a woman's face -- or anything else -- via Bluetooth.German designer has introduced to the public for the first time a digitally-enabled burqa that can transmit a photo of the wearer to nearby mobile phones. Markus Kison calls it the “CharmingBurka,” and says it isn’t forbidden by Islamic law.Kison says the burqa has a “digital layer” that include a Bluetooth antenna, which lets women “decide for themselves where they want to position themselves virtually.”

 

 

I think its ridiculous….

supernurse, it is kinda wearing xray specs but the other way round. So the person wearing the burqa can be seen by others through bluetooth. Pretty absurd. I mean if u gana send ur pic to people, then why not just take it off and save urself the trouble ?
