OMsignal’s smart shirt monitors your emotional well-being A host of fitness tracking tech is currently on the market allowing users to measure and monitor their daily activities, heart rate, exercise intensity and even how much they sweat. But what about your emotional state? Montreal-based smart apparel company OMsignal has developed a T-shirt and a bra that not only tracks your daily steps, calorie burn and heart rate, but it also measures your breathing and emotional well-being using your heart rate variability, or HRV, reported VentureBeat. OMsignal's clothing contains a 3-axis accelerometer, the basic tool found in other fitness devices, which measures motion, steps and calories. Sensors woven into the polyester/lycra fabric act as a 3-lead EKG, producing a readout of cardiac activity when the user is at rest or doing something active, according to the company. The clothing also contains GPS capability, a feature that can help you understand how your body reacts to certain activities and environments. Photo: OMsignal/Marlon-Kuhnreich

Picture This: Your Digital Photos Deserve Frames Too Yet another option for displaying family photos is easy to overlook: your TV. There are many ways to display slide shows on a TV set. Game consoles like the Xbox let you do that easily; you simply follow the onscreen instructions. And all smart-TV solutions enable you to display photographs, either streaming from a nearby PC over Wi-Fi or via some other method. You can also easily connect a digital camera, laptop, tablet or phone to most modern TVs and show on the big screen what you are already able to view on the little one. For more social sharing and control, however, there's an appealing new option for Google TV. Out My Window is a social photo sharing service that enables photo sharing on Apple-based mobile devices, like the iPhone and iPad and now Google TV. By using the Google TV app, you'll instantly see the new pictures uploaded by family and friends in the slide show on your TV. Digital pictures look better and last longer than printed photographs.

Robocoin - Bitcoin's Global Cash ATM Network Clothing Gets Computerized Sure those name brand threads may look good, but when was the last time they allowed you to become a walking sound and light show? The Soundie, part hoodie and part electric keyboard, is a build-it-yourself project now featured on the Instructables website. By touching the Soundie at different points and with different numbers of fingers, different pitches and lights will activate. Can your hoodie play songs? The Soundie works by measuring voltage differences across special iron-on conductive fabric. Along with augmented reality video merging, and total-body interaction media, the Soundie is part of a larger trend of immersion technologies. But we’re totally skipping the other amazing part of the Soundie: it’s build it yourself! The Arduino LilyPad microcontroller board - sew cool!

Lecteur MP3 Nabaiji OhMiBod’s New Remote App Will Let You Pleasure Your Partner No Matter The Distance Long-distance is where it’s at for sex toy makers, and though OhMiBod was one of the first in the industry to deliver app-compatible vibrators, the implementation didn’t allow truly long-distance or remote partner pleasuring. Until now. The company, which is best known for their digitally connected vibrators, is crowdfunding a brand new app called OhMiBod Remote, which not only allows for a number of different interactions but is also powered by Bluetooth, giving partners a bit more wiggle room about being in a different room, etc. For now, the app only has a standard Bluetooth range of about 50 feet, but the campaign will also fund an update that allows the app to work no matter the distance between the vibrator and the smartphone through Wifi integration. Originally, OhMiBod’s app only let you turn the vibrators on or off, and the phone had to be within visual range of the vibrator because they were connected via RF.

For those of us with a little electronics know-how the Arduino Lilypad is definitely a great option to make some kick-ass electronic-wear. Sports injuries can take years to overcome, and when you’re a professional athlete they can cost you a lot more than time.
