A Sock With a Message - Wearable Technology

The start-up Heapsylon has a smart sock, Sensoria, that is paired with an anklet to automatically detect the type and level of activity based on pressure signals coming from the foot of the wearer.

Sensors in the sock communicate data to the anklet, which then can relay the information to the user via an app.

For example, it can track a runner’s regular form and send an alert when he or she is making an injurious movement.

Extreme Future - Charge It

Someday you may be able to charge your smartphone with your clothes. Flexible solar panels have inspired designers to come up with clothes and accessories that can power electronics.

Start-up Wearable Solar is using the technology to make lightweight wired garments that enable the wearer to charge a smartphone up to 50 percent if worn in the sun for a full hour.

And New York-based Voltaic Systems makes a collection of bags that can charge a variety of devices.

Random Search – Unique Wearable Technology

What can one do with a robot suit? Well, it’s certainly not limited to just lifting sacks of rice, but that was exactly what we got to do at CEATEC courtesy of Koba Lab from Tokyo University of Science. First seen in 2009, the magic behind this 9kg kit are the pair of pneumatic artificial muscles (aka McKibben artificial muscles) on the back, which are made by industrial equipment manufacturer Kanda Tsushin. When pressurized with air using electrical components from KOA Corporation, the lightweight, loosely-woven PET tubes contract and consequently provide support to the user’s back, shoulders and elbows. As such, our arms were able to easily hold two more sacks of rice (making it a total of 50kg) until the demonstrator deflated the muscles. Check out our jolly hands-on video after the break.

Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Idea for wearable technology – Ring for patients….

by

Hi,

I have a idea for wearable technology for patient’s who have to take medicine on a regular basis. I know many people who have to take medicine daily but they always used to forget about taking medicines because of busy and running life. generally this medicines have to consumed after meal or before meal. so every one after and before having food will wash his hands with water. So I have good idea to of making wearable technology Ring with water sensor.  so this ring will buzz and lights will glow whenever hands are washed.W

with the help of this ring we can cover a powerful market beyond our expectations.

So I need comments for my idea…
