When you hear the word “wearables” the first thing that comes to mind is: technology you can wear. This is exactly the problem and the reason why so few people wear them.

So we developed a wearable you WANT to wear.

SKARV is a scarf: a scarf that transmits sensations. It is quite possibly the most genuine digital connection between people who are emotionally close but physically far away.

These individual “sensations” on the smart phone screen are transmitted via the app to the scarf wearer – and then they are felt through the 12 embedded vibrating motors.

The (loop) scarf is embedded with 12 extremely flat vibrating motors, which can be intuitively and individually-controlled via the App. The vibration pattern on the screen – duration, order and intensity – is transmitted as a unique “sensation”. The scarf itself is 3-D knitted with eco-friendly yarn. The battery is charged via Micro-USB and communication occurs over Bluetooth on a smart phone. SKARV is genuinely innovative – its technological uniqueness has been confirmed by the patent office. The system is beyond the prototype stage and we are currently in negotiations with labels for its production.
