When I first saw these body technology interface designs, I thought, “Oh, this is just a geek version of a snuggie!” Just like the real snuggie, it is bizarre to look at yet intriguing and strangely useful, all at the same time.

Before you look at these photos and discount these designs as bonkers, think about what they were created to do. These knitted designs were made to help us interface with our technology better, and when you think of it from that perspective; you might consider wearing one of these wacky contraptions. According to http://sternlab.org, the purpose of these is to give you “privacy, warmth, and concentration in public spaces.”

I’m sure wearing these would insure you’d get teased by everyone you know, but a true geek won’t really care about that. Whether it’s a laptop sock, a camera cover or a mask, whatever covering you desire for your personal electronic devices, you’ll probably find it below.

These designs were introduced to me by @wadecreate and created by @bekathwia. Thank you ladies!

HAHA! Excellent Snuggie parody! It’s amazing what people will buy these days. These new “snuggies” should be advertised, even if it’s as a joke, and they will still sell. Nice find, D!

Haha hilarious! These get more and more S&M and less and less faux-practical as they go along!

Oh my gosh, that is so funny. You are right, I didn’t think about that until now. I see what you mean. They look like people all tied up with gags in their mouths. Haha!

Well, I own a snuggie and my dog owns a Snuggie (actually two she could not decide between pink and blue). Why not a Snuggie for my “geek self.” The camera one could be useful.

I definitely am going to get a couple of these Snugglies for @bmf, whose work study is in his garage. It’s freezing out there and this is perfect for my parka wearing alpha geek.

Thanks for the awesome pics. LOL
