Eleksen Introduces Electro Fabric

DigitalDame2 writes "Eleksen, a small UK-based firm is introducing electronic fabric, essentially carbon-embedded nylon sandwiched between layers of nylon mesh that, when a milliamps charge is passed through it, can recognize touch, pressure and even the direction and path of a stroke. This thin, flexible, and washable fabric connects to a small 8-bit processor, which then can be connected to a standard electronic device like an iPod. Eleksen company executives said the washable fabric can also withstand extreme pressure; they've rolled a car over it without any ill effects."

  1. uh oh, here comes the porn industry by puto · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As someone who several years ago had to broker a technology merger between an av software package and a porn compnay that provided usb pocket pussies and dicks, that could be controlled by the users to fuck each other while squinting into their webcams. And of course you could always rent Jenna Jameson videos with her scripted fuck vibes that were sent via packets into your device. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I can imagine what this will mean for the sticky side of the web.

    I have worked with lots of companies. Airlines have given me flights, Sun sent over a little server once, and I even got some cool Tremors the Series T-shirts from Sci-Fi. The only offer I never accepted was the demo pocket pussy. I handed over to the development team. From there who knows.

    Yes, but will it reveal Charlize Theron's nipples?
