Wearable tech for fashion-forward women + paranoid peeps

This week’s Wearable Tech roundup features a glove fit for the techie woman, a jacket to help you get away from all the buzz, and a wearable lock to protect your Mac.

Mujjo touchscreen leather gloves for women

 

Mujjo, a company that specializes in smartphone accessories and touchscreen gloves, finally unveiled the first ever touchscreen leather gloves for women.  This is in response to requests made by women when the version for male touchscreen leather gloves was released.

These leather crochet gloves are equipped with a revolutionary nanotechnology that allows them to work on almost every touchscreen device.  You can now pre-order these gloves on Mujjo for €74.34, or about $100, and shipments will start on November 28, 2013.

The Escape Jacket

 

Sometimes, in order to get away from it all, you simply need to turn off your smartphone.  But where’s the fun in that?  I mean, isn’t there a more dramatic way of hanging up on someone than throwing your phone across the room, or just falling off the grid without actually moving in an unknown island?

Victor Johansson of Objects and Interactions came up with the concept project The Escape Jacket.  The purpose of this jacket is to disconnect you from others the moment you place your phone in the inside pocket of the jacket – all radio frequencies are blocked.  It also has an NFC chip that turns off the phone’s antenna to save the device’s battery.  It’s not a permanent solution to get some peace and quiet, but it sure would be cool to tune out by just placing your device inside your jacket.

Atama Sesame wireless lock

 

Are you a Mac users who constantly gets “hacked” by your friends the minute you leave the room?  I imagine your Facebook wall is filled with confessions of your undying love for one of your buddies or other embarrassing stories, and I’m pretty sure you are already fed up with nosy friends’ antics.

Fret not, as you can keep your Mac safe with Atama’s Sesame wireless key lock.  Sesame is a key fob and Mac app combo that automatically locks your Mac when you are no longer in range of your device.  Bluetooth 4.0 is used to connect the key fob and your Mac, so it’s not something that would greatly affect your Mac’s battery life.

You can customize the range for when it will lock, as well as how it unlocks.  It can unlock by just approaching your device, or you can use a password to unlock the system, or use a two-factor authentication which includes entering a password as well as pushing a button on the key fob.  Sesame will start shipping this month and you can pre-order your very own Mac lock for only $39.99.
