Microsoft made a similar outfit the next year. It used a corset keyboard to project tweets on the transparent white skit. It won Best in Show and Best Concept at the International Symposium on Wearable Computers in July 2011.
In November 2012, former Pussycat Dolls and X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger also wore a Twitter dress at the launch of the 4G network in London.
