What if a smart device can detect if somebody else is taking off your clothes?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Manisha Mohan created such a device, that she has called Intrepid. Its a smart sticker thats intended to detect, communicate, and prevent sexual assault. Its connected to your phone via Bluetooth and it can attach to any piece of clothing. Check out the video above to see it.
To use the device, the wearer needs to download an accompanying app on their phone, and enter five contacts who will be called or sent a text in any case of emergency. The app will also record encounters when theres no timely response from the wearer, which can be used in court, should there be future legal proceedings.
