Projects include Loretta Faveri’s SoMo , a wireless wearable sensor board developed for dancers; Robert Tu’s MeU, a smartphone-controlled, flexible LED display; Mike Vaughan’s Lynxio, a knee brace that transmits wireless data on corrective body positioning to a physiotherapist; and a series of conceptual wearable projects developed by the research team in OCAD U’s Social Body Lab over the past year: a hood that deploys itself with a shoulder shrug; a wearable body compass that warms in the direction of “home”; and expansive shoulder pads actuated by muscle flexion.
