Project Concept A jacket outfitted with a set of pressure sensors that provides a tactile, convenient, and discrete interface to control applications running on a phone. (e.g. A person wearing the jacket could touch their right shoulder in order to play/pause the music they are listening to.) The smart jacket would communicate wirelessly with the phone and thus would also allow for remote control of apps from many feet away.
