With metaverse digital fashion threatening physical cosplay, designers can reclaim their appeal through “biofeedback costumes.” These innovative outfits change color, light up, or adjust texture in response to the wearer’s heartbeat or movement. Such designs combine craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, making physical cosplay a dynamic experience. Designers can showcase these reactive costumes at conventions, highlighting the sensory and immersive aspects of wearing them. This approach emphasizes the uniqueness of real-world cosplay, offering experiences digital avatars cannot match, and ensuring the art form’s continued relevance.
