Every parts of a human body are directly connected to the nerves of brain. Each and every movement of our body is governed by the signal sent by the brain. Using this principle, a very unique gadget has been designed which is named as “Jik – experience recorder”. Looking like a hand gloves, this gadget has strong sensors fitted to each of the finger. Through these sensors it can record all his experience. Middle finger is used for data processing, first finger for synesthesia, thumb for sharing, ring finger for interaction and little finger for low-tech.

Imagine this…for every move you make, you can create a unique sound, cool huh? I bet DJ will love this PACER suit concept. The Pacer suit receives electro impulses that appear when muscles are activated (movement), amplifies them and turns them into sound with the help of the sensors attached to muscles. Each impulse is goes through the sensors via amplifiers (boxes on the back) to control panel where we can control volume, type of sound, select rhythm to follow…With this suit it is possible to produce harmonious rhythm and melody by dancing. These sounds can be heard through headphones connected to the control panel (box on the front) or through the speakers connected to the control panel by infrared rays.
This system is not entirely made for fun as it has enormous stimulating power and it can be quite efficiently used in therapeutic treatments where ever is necessary to stimulate muscle workout and movement of the body as a whole.
