The Tae Kwon Do Vest is a sweet little wearable project which enables users to measure their kick strength using a series of piezoelectric sensors, an MCU which cues a hit detection scheme and a set of wireless transmission crcuits for emitting a specified byte of data when a kick is detected (also detected via the massive pain in your chest.) A special receiver system translates the kick strength numerically then displays the numbers on a screen. (more…)
