Wrap Ergo, the wristband for true geek
By manoj | July 4, 2008
Who works all day at computer may incur nell’infiammazione of tendons and tunner carpal syndrome. The wrist, in fact, is often called by twisting to pander to the shape of the keyboard to use the mouse and so on. To avoid this problem the company DerVinci Group has designed Ergo Wrap, a wristband equipped with a bag with liquid gel attutisce the blows of the wrist.
To use just wearing as a normal bracelet turning down the bag with the gel. The company does not plan to sell it in stores of information technology but to contact the businesses involved much with computers. The idea does not require special technologies and could be replicated for the creation of accessories to be sold in all specialty stores.
Pacer Suit: now shake a leg to make music
By Andrew | May 29, 2008
Usually we have seen people grooving to the music, but the pacer suit flips the convention and comes to fore as a gizmo that produces music at the hint of your movements. All you need to do is wear the suit loaded with sensors and integrated speakers, which send out tones corresponding to the movements of the wearer.
Now, if you eye at listening to music that your shaking is producing just wear the headphone that comes along and get the taste.
Again a futuristic concept, we doubt as to which will be the usage this piece of wearable technology will be put to. Ah!…here comes something, how about musicians dancing away on the stage to mak some good music for people to groove upon.

Yamaha Deus Ex Machina: Single passenger wearable motorcycle concept
By Andrew | May 25, 2008
If you vouch for wearability, sleekness and innovation in the motor cycle that you ride, then the Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is sure to catch your fancy. Designed by Jake Loniak, this one scores high on wearability quotient since the driver is required to be worn bythe driver. Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is an an electric, single passenger, vertically parking, wearable motorcycle, that is controlled via 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators.
If that was enough to let your curiosity buds go on a tizzy, the let me tease them further with the news that the mean machine is good enough to hit 0-60 MPH in three seconds and 60-0 in the side of a bus. I wish the concept all the best as I don’t think the so called wearable bike will score high on comfort levels and any body would like to be spotted on road looking like a wasp scrolling the streets in that ugly looking auto attire.

Seems the world is opening its eyes to the grave problem of pollution facing the world. And this unique Stephanie Sandstrom’s EPA Dress, currently on display at the San Francisco Exploratorium’s 2nd Skin Exhibition is a perfect exemplar of this.
The link between this dress and pollution lies in the fact that it reacts to bad air. Yes, the moment it gets exposed to the polluted air, it starts to shrink and create wrinkles.
An intelligent interpreter of the bad environmental condition, this eco-friendly dress keeps a sad, wrinkled and tired façade when the situation is unbearable and also hazardous.

Drivers can now stay cool with the Cooling Shirt
By Andrew | April 30, 2008
Hi-tech clothing and wearable technology is becoming a rage these days, and this cool shirt is no exception to this fad after the hug shirt.
Air conditioners fail and air seems like burning when the sun works on your car to hot it up. But if you have this all new Cooling Shirt, you will have a little less to worry.
A perfect accessory for the professional drivers who most of the time are driving on the roads or rather the racing drivers who burn themselves inside those racing cars. The cooling shirt circulates icy chilled water all across your body via a portable refrigeration unit that’s as small as a medium picnic cooler. The pipes run all across your body and keep you cool without making you wet.
And if you want more, in some versions of the Cool Shirt the water can also be transferred to the helmet to keep the head cool as well.
