Wearable Products- Interactive T
shirts
Another kind of interactive shirt is
one that makes sound – the
electronic drum kit shirt has 7
spots that generate sounds
when you push down on them. T-shirts
like these are cheap to
come by as they do not need
high tech wizardry, just an
electronic board that you have to
remove before hand washing
these T-shirts.

Wearable Products-Nike Fuelband
• The Nike+ FuelBand
tracks your daily exercise
and the calories burnt
while doing those
activities. For every
activity, the LED will light
up and let you know your
progress. You can set
these goals, view detailed
progress, and unlock
achievements to stay
motivated, or share it with
your social networks via its
iPhone app.

Wearable Products-Smart Watch
The watch is touchscreen
and can act as a hands-free
device with its built-in
microphone. It also
has an app store, and
programmers are able to
build new apps for its
unique ecosystem.
Available in seven colors,
it is on the market at $400
a pop

Wearable Product-SMARTYRING
• Smarty Ring to control your Smart phone. Forget
tapping phone screen, get instant alerts right on your
finger.

Wearable Product-Vigo
• Vigo tracks patterns in your
blinks and in your movement to
quantify how alert you are in
real time. The idea is simple –
although your brain has a
tendency to trick you into
thinking you’re mentally fit
enough to keep pushing on
with your daily business, your
body can’t hide when you’re
tired. With an infrared sensor,
an accelerometer, and a clever
algorithm, Vigo makes it easy
to be alert when you need to
