We are developing a wearable armband technology that aims to bring runners, cyclists, etc together. The armband will transmit a geographic location that will be picked up by another identical armband that will process that location and interpret it as sensory feedback. Using a compass and small servos, the armband will provide a slight pressure sensation in the direction of the other armband, with the intensity varying on the proximity of the second band. This will allow runners and other active individuals to find each other for the sake exercising together. Through this we hope to encourage a more social and motivating exercise experience.
