Aposematic Jacket – Wearable computer for self-defense

Category Members News People Posted on:

Korean collective Shinseungback Kimyonghun have created 'Aposematic Jacket' a wearable computer for self-defense. The lenses on the jacket give off the warning signal, “I can record you”, to prevent possible attack. When the wearer pushes a button under threat, the jacket records the scene in 360 degrees and sends the images to the Web.

The system is comprised of a Raspberry Pi, camera, Wi-Fi module, battery pack and fabric, 15 x 60 x 70 cm.
