  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The Spider Dress That Reacts To Personal Space Invaders

YouTube description:

Fashion-tech designer Anouk Wipprecht has built a Spider Dress, which reacts based on how close you're standing and how quickly you approached. It's based on 'proxemics': the study of personal space... although how much of that counts as science is an open question. Let's talk about Edward T Hall, about what counts as science, and what happens if you get too close to someone.

Anouk's dress is on display at the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco until March 2017: http://www.autodesk.com/gallery/
You can follow the Autodesk Gallery on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/autodeskgallery/

Anouk's web site is at http://www.anoukwipprecht.nl/
and she's on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/Satincandy

Autodesk's YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/Autodesk

FULL DISCLOSURE: Autodesk were good enough to cover my travel to San Francisco, but they haven't paid me and had no control over the script, the content or the final cut!
