Jeli: The interactive, wearable pet

Lab:

Jeli is a wearable pet with personality. Just pin him to your shirt or jacket and take him along wherever you go! Jeli is the perfect traveling buddy for those who want a little company during their busy day. Pet Jeli on the head, squeeze his head or scare him with a loud noise to make him come to life. Jeli served as an exploration in soft circuit design. The product is controlled by a Flora microcontroller, as it is well-suited to sewn circuitry and wearable products. Our system also incorporates homemade sensors, such as a potentiometer and a force sensor.
