Glove transmits message via handshake
CuteCircuit hosted a workshop on Smart Textiles and Physical Computing at the Interface Research group at the University of Ulster in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
“What is the secret message glove? you ask? I’m glad you asked!! It is a very useful item for spies, secret agents and private eyes and it is used for passing secret messages at the touch of a finger! In a smoky crowded bar in Casablanca, you urgently need to pass a secret message to your compatriot friend. There are too many ears, and too many eyes - but shaking hands looks normal! So, you shake hands, the data is delivered from glove to glove, and you quietly disappear back into the mysterious Moroccan night, eluding the double agents.”
