The spy who shakes me

Filed in archive Cool , Products on July 22, 2006

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.

What sounds like a movie is CuteCircuit's description for a "secret glove" - result of a workshop they held in Northern Ireland.

Over the course of the workshop, participants had the opportunity to build and experiment at every step of the development process, from assembling smart materials to programming the microchip, to soldering and stitching and finally testing the finished prototype - "The Secret Message Glove"!

Isn't that a workshop we all would love to participate? Thanks to CuteCircuit for this fun and fresh approach ;-)
