Inventor Dan Zen recounts, “For years, I have been watching the Web for mobile devices used as wearable expression – and have found nothing. The closest is the digitalDudz fellow – I was telling my students about putting a device on the front and back so you could see through your body since the dawn of mobile video – so we seem to have similar interests.
Why are we waiting around for digital fabric that can show the same old thing over and over – why not make use of our current devices with all the apps in the world! A whole series is planned – with similar interface, so try out Hangy and let others know!”
There are a couple existing fasteners to hang Apple devices as a necklace iHangy (not related) and Necklit. These require extra production and cost and only work with Apple devices. You can create a Mobidallion wearable device in less than 5 minutes with tape and string or use a gel case and thread string through two pencil poked holes. These free and easy techniques are more than strong enough to hold the device even with the most rambunctious of dancing! Please watch the videos to see what we mean (see the second and third in the playlist).
All the best and send us your pictures wearing Hangy!
