Massage me. Massage-me Jacket, the most innovative video game controller ever made - Hannah Perner-Wilson, Mika Satomi, Hi Hannha Mika Thanks for taking time for a short interview, How did you both come together and start exploring wearable technology, What was the i. Massage-me Jacket, the most innovative video game controller ever made Hannah Perner-Wilson and Mika Satomi are two very creative young ladies who are extremely passionate about Wearable Technologies.
Their fascination in Wearable Technologies combined with studies in Industrial Design and Interface Cultures enabled them to create Wearable Electronic projects like the ‘Massage me‘ Jacket, a unique video game controller. The ‘Massage me’ concept is a wearable massage interface that turns a video game player’s excess energy into a back massage for your partner or loved ones. Playing Massage me requires two people, one who wears the jacket to receive the massage and one who massages the person wearing the jacket. Soft, flexible buttons are embedded in back of the jacket so that wearing it turns your back into a gamepad. All you need to do is to sit or lay down in front of a video game player and you will be able to enjoy a back massage while the game lasts. Hi Hannha, Mika. Robot R Us.

Eleksen is one of the first companies that entered the Wearable Electronic market with a commercial product.
This product is a textile based sensor called ElekTex.ElekTex is a highly versatile and innovative technology that provides the basis for a soft, flexible, and lightweight interface between users and electronic devices. This unique fabric structure can accurately sense location on three axes – X, Y and to a certain degree Z – within a material that is less than 1mm thick. Therefore ElekTex not only senses where it is being touched (the X and Y axes), but also how hard it is pressed, the Z axis. The ability to sense the applied pressure is major advantages ElekTex has over technologies, such as plastic touchpads.
The working principle of ElekTex: ElekTex is essentially a laminate of textiles comprising two conductive outer layers separated by a partially conductive central layer. The partially conductive central layer provides the magic which makes ElekTex work. Elektex Smart Fabric Controls for iPod. Style Elektex is what makes BlackCoat Made for iPod. In other words, it provides the function, while BlackCoat is the form. Below are links to all BlackCoats Made for iPod. Work MFI :: Work Premiere MFI :: Sport MFI :: Surf MFI You can also purchase BlackCoat JFK and SYD without the controls and upgrade at any time. Koyono is the first company to take a modular approach to Elektex. Performance Highly Durable: Tested at 5 million key presses, ElekTex touchpads are washable, flexible and have long-wearing durability and yet they drape like any fabric.
Low Impact Design: At 0.6mm thick and less than 25gms (less than 1oz), ElekTex fabric touchpads are barely detectable in wearable constructions. Utility ElekTex patented touchpad and ribbon cable technology combines all the benefits of fabric with the interactivity of electronics in its solutions for wearable technology. Control Sensor: No wires, no cables, no switches, no bumps. the ElekTex Control Sensor is a 100% fabric control for your iPod.
