Electronic Hogu Measures Just How Hard Your Foe Can Beat You Up
The final project of a team from Cornell University, this electronic hogu, modelled above by a lantern-jawed mannequin called Bob, uses piezoelectric sensors and a microcontroller to measure the kicks and punches between contestants in a Tae Kwan Do bout. Piezoelectric sensors and a microcontroller are implanted in the transmitter side, while the receiver side has wireless receiver circuitry, another microcontroller, and a monitor to display the score. As that great black belt of martial arts would say, "Haiiiii-YAAAAAAA!" Yes, I'm talking Miss Piggy. [Cornell via GEARFUSE and HacknMod] More » -

Body Armor and Fashion Collide in the Urban Security Suit

The neoprene lets you move easily, the kevlar shields your internal organs, and there's a gasmask to protect you from airborne toxins. It looks pretty interesting, in a dystopian future, Bladerunner-ish kind of way, though we're not sure of its popular appeal. Maybe emo kids of tomorrow will be sporting something like it? ... as long as it comes in black. [Yanko] More » -
