A yoga shirt that corrects your position
29/03/2012
The company has bonded special panels into the area under the arms, which communicates by electromagnetic signals to a belt round the wearer’s waist, which, in turn, maintains contact with a remote computer.
During a yoga session, if the wearer takes up an incorrect position, the computer will send a signal back to the receiver on the belt. This will cause the area under the arms to vibrate gently, letting practitioners know a correction is required. When they take up the right position, the vibrations stop.
Speaking at the recent Wearable Futures Inclusive Design conference in London, at which Bemis was a sponsor, the company’s Terry Davey said it would be expensive to launch a commercial version in the yogawear sector, but insisted there were possible applications in protective clothing and healthcare.
