"A research team...are using a highly versatile film not much thicker than household cling film to impart new capabilities to objects while saving energy in the process. When used in wearable textiles, these films can move and press against the skin providing haptic feedback that can enhance the VR gaming experience by allowing players to feel textures, impacts and other physical sensations."

www.uni-saarland.deSmart textiles and surfaces – How lightweight elastomer films are bringing tech to lifeClothes that can mimic the feeling of being touched, touch displays that provide haptic feedback to users, or even ultralight loudspeakers. These are just some of the devices made possible using thin silicone films that can be precisely controlled so that they vibrate, flex, press or pull exactly as desired. And all done simply by applying an electrical voltage.

I've used at least one other smartwatch, but the only one that inspired multiple blog posts over the years that I eventually combined into a single page with a review and follow-ups was the #PebbleWatch

https://hyperborea.org/reviews/products/pebble2/

I'm seriously looking at the new limited-release watches from Core (same founder as the original Pebble, working with the Rebble community)

https://store.repebble.com/

The Core Duo 2 is basically an updated version of the one I had way back when, and the Core Time 2 is an update of the model I kinda wished I'd bought instead.

Kelson Reviews Stuff · Pebble 2 Smart Watch - ReviewThe rare smartwatch that was actually designed to work well *as a watch*. It was discontinued ages ago, but the just-announced Core Duo 2 is essentially an updated version.

CBC: How ‘wearables for wildlife’ are unlocking the secret knowledge of animals. “A mini-cellphone on a goat’s ear. A little backpack on a bird. A Fitbit on a whale. Scientists have a range of cute descriptions for the technology in The Secret Knowledge of Animals, a documentary from The Nature of Things. But the data provided by these small tracking devices, placed on a range of species all […]
