The Smarterwear Heated Jacket is a personal heating device with a lightweight lining. The lining itself uses an Arduino lilypad to detect the user's body temperature, heating when needed and automatically shutting down when the user is warm. This makes the Smarterwear Heated Jacket ideal for outdoor exercise in cold weather, individuals with poor circulation, when running errands in downtown Vancouver to eliminate the need for constantly removing your jacket when the environment's or user's body heat fluctuates.

description
The Kids Electronic Wearable Jacket is based around the concept that kids from ages three to seven should be given appropriate means to learn basic life values on their own, or with little assistance, rather than it being necessary for them to be taught directly from adults. The jacket will help kids to develop these understandings though various technologies such as touch sensors, LED lighting and music. The three values we considered are: the importance of exercise in a daily routine, the need to take care of oneself and the importance of expressing love to family and friends.
