Sensitive interactive textiles creator Eleksen Ltd will be showcasing a host of its enabled wearable and consumer electronic products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) which runs though January 8, 2006.
“We are thrilled to showcase such a robust offering at the number one consumer electronics event in the United States,” said Robin Shephard, CEO of Eleksen. “More and more companies are realizing the potential of our innovative, ready-to-integrate smart fabric solution and are taking advantage of it. The power of ElekTex® is clear, and we are happy to offer the attendees of CES the opportunity to try out enhanced mobile experiences.”
Some of the not-to-be-missed merchandise includes:
The Kenpo Jacket for iPod - Designed to keep wearers completely en vogue and in control of their iPod without fumbling with zippers, gloves or pockets, the jacket utilizes ElekTex which transforms sleeves into a 5-button electronic control panel and creates an easily accessible interface between wearers and their iPods, allowing wearers to play, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume. The jackets are available nationally at Macy's, Dillards and CompUSA.
SCOTTEVEST's Tactical VC Jacket – The SeV Tactical VC allows wearers to adjust the volume of electronic devices inside the jacket simply by touching the integrated controls on the jacket's exterior. These controls function using ElekTex, which contains no hard components with connections made of conductive fabric ribbon cables. The fabric switches are washable, flexible, breathable, and pierce-resistant.
