Looking a lot like a no-hands Segway, the Exmovere Chariot is a surprisingly agile personal wearable transportation device.  The incarnation demonstrated in the following video is described as an “entertainment version” but there are plans to create a version for the disabled to enable more independence, mobility and the ability to leave the rest of us in the dust.  The video is interesting to watch, if only to see how truly agile and maneuverable the device can be.

With distributed pressure areas that beat with the music that you listen to, Jorge Furuya has developed (with Vanessa Sattele) an MP3 player design that not only is wearable, but actually envelops you in the form of a jacket.  The controls on the arm provide display of your playlist, clock, alarm, chronometer and music rhythm. The design won honorable mention in a short contest sponsored by Core77 and Popular Science Magazine.

If you prefer your MP3player to operate at high speed (120-150km/hr) and be audible without headphones, then this Motor Bike Audio Jacket SW-HP802 is for you.

Made of real leather, the jacket has it’s own amplification system and pair of speakers and will work with your MP3 player of choice.
