Postur(e)volution // Arduino Powered Bio-Feedback Dress

(2010)

This garment includes three fabric bend sensors and two types of actuators (vibration motors and a peltier plate) to measure your posture, and gently warn you if you've been sitting badly for a long time. Leaning on sides will earn you slight vibrations and if you have a bad hunch, you'll get a slight cold feeling on your back, complete with a warmness after you correct your posture. Of course not to annoy the hell out of people, the program includes generous delays and different levels of punishm.. er, responses. The prototype includes hand made fabric bend sensors, cell phone motors, a peltier plate and an annoyingly long arduino program.
