Japanese researchers weave capacitive touch into large-area textiles, want to make them wearable (video): "

Conductive fibers, yo, they're the future. Japan's AIST is back with yet another quirky idea, this time integrating capacitive touch sensors into 1-micron thick nylon fibers. The results is a big old cloth that can sense your loving touch and inform nearby computers of what you're up to. Initial uses envisioned by the research outfit include implementation in hospitals to monitor bedridden patients, but the ultimate goal is to make this extra-sensitive array a wearable accoutrement. Wouldn't that be lovely?

RH Chairs - Designed for human performance

The human body is an anatomical miracle. And the better care we take of it, the better we perform. That is as true when it comes to sporting activities as it is for when we are carrying out what we might assume are the most routine of tasks, such as sitting. When we sit in a chair that takes into account our body’s natural ease of movement, we breathe better. When we breathe better, it’s easier for us to concentrate and we perform better. Our 2PP™ philosophy is based on the body's need for movement and maintaining an upright posture so that the blood can be oxygenated properly. Companies and employees with the best working conditions also deliver better results on the bottom line.
