Final outcome

These are some details of the glove I made while Charles is making his one following my design plan, each of us has to make one glove since we want a pair of gloves when we present, Im doing the left hand and Charles is doing the right hand.

Wiring plans I made for Charles

Wiring plans I draw, despite I made these plans but Charles still did somethings wrong while looking at these plans. sigh

Design plan of power costume's glove part by Shengying

Some basic functions of our costume, the gloves can give three different kind of power visualizations by punching, griping fist and putting two hand close, sensors include: pressure sensor, accelerometer, flex sensor and hall effect sensor.

Qigong(Ch'i kung) Costume

My idea is to create a costume that can visually represents the Qi that flow and release from the user's body when they doing some movements and fighting with others

Im planning to use pressure sensors, accelerometers and magnatic sensors on this projects
In traditional Chinese culture, Qi is an active principle forming part of any living thing. The literal translation is "air," "breath," or "gas"

Qigong is a traditioanl Chinese meditative practice that often uses slow graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques to promote the circulation of Qi within the human body, also can be considered as "KongFu of Qi"

Im planning to use pressure sensors, accelerometers and magnatic sensors to capture my movements in this project, The Qi will be visually represented by LED or Lighting wire, Im planning to put some lights on each joint, when the user use their joint to attack, then the LEDs on that joint light up to show the Qi, Im also want to make a Qi release effect which is like the Dragon ball's Kamehameha

DMDN384 Project Final outcome: Directional Belt

I have changed my orignal idea LED T-shirt to belt. I named it "Directional Belt"

The basic function of this belt is to tell the user what direction he is facing to. There are two LED
circuits on this belt, one circuit is made up by seven white LEDs facing to severn different directions. If the wearer is facing to the north then all seven LEDs light up, if the wearer is not facing to the north then only the white LED that facing to the north light up, the other LEDs turn off. The other circuit is made by six RGB LEDs, the colour of these six RGB LEDs changes when the wearer turing around, the RGB LEDs show different colours if the wearer face to different directions.

Key electronic components: HM6352 compass moduel, Arduino lilypad

384 Project2 Sketch: Directional shirt

This is the first draft of my wearable object, the function of it is to show which direction you towards to. I'll use many leds on this shirt, they will light up when you face due south, due east, due west and due north



The principle is I put a little compass inside the shirt and add four light sensor on each direction on the dial, when any of them is covered by the needle then the lights repersent that direction turn on.

Miruko, wearable tech for gaming

The main objective of the robot system is to extend our body and sensing ability.
The eyeball robot has a wi-fi module in order to communicate with host computer or with other devices
and has a wireless CMOS camera embedded in the iris of the robot.
By using this robotic interface and iphone, we realized virtual monster capturing game in real world

TED: “Sixth Sense” – Wearable Technology

From the labs at MIT and innovators Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry, comes “Sixth Sense”. This is a multi-unit device you wear that interacts with your surrounding environment. There is a camera that captures visual data, a mirror and projector that displays data and a phone that collects and transmits the data. Very Minority

Robotic jacket has power up its sleeve

Wearable technology may sometimes come off as little more than a gimmick (consider the video belt buckle). But for some people, it can mean something entirely different--regaining abilities lost to injury or illness.
This prototype "power jacket" from Matsushita Electric Industrial (parent of consumer electronics company Panasonic) is designed to help patients recover from partial paralysis. Sensors at the elbow and wrist allow a healthy arm to control the eight artificial muscles, which are powered by compressed air, on the paralyzed side. The 4-pound robotic jacket was on display Wednesday at the Home Care and Rehabilitation Exhibition in Tokyo.
