EQUI-PRESSURE PANTS

This was a collaboration with Jillian Warren to build a research artifact for a design research study. These little wi-fi wearables have sensors on the knees, thighs, and butts of equestrians to measure and track rider pressure on the horse, and send it back to a trainer, who can provide vibro-tactile feedback in real time. 

The pictures show the first, functional, proof-of-concept prototype.
